Select language to translate this lyric
O beauty ancient, O beauty so new
late have i loved thee and feebly yet do
THOUGH you were with me, i was not with YOU
then you shone your face and i was blind no more
my heart searches restlessly and finds no rest 'till it rests in thee
o seeker you sought for me, your love has found me.
i am taken by thee
i sought this world and chased its finer things.
yet were these not in you, they would have not been.
my ceaseless longing hid the deeper truth
in all my desirings, i was desiring you
lord i my deafness ypu cried out to me.
i drew my breath and now your fragrance i breathe.
o fount of life, you are forever the same,
o fire of love, come set me a flame
my heart searches restlessly, and finds no rest 'till it rests in thee
o seeker you sought for me, your love has found me
i am taken by thee
