O beauty ancient, O beauty so new
Late I have loved Thee and feebly yet do.
Though You were with me I was not with You.
Then You shone Your fave and I was blind no more.
My heart searches restlessly and finds no rest 'till it rest in Thee.
o seeker You sought for me.
Your love has found me;
I am taken by Thee.
I sought this world and chased it finer things,
Yet were these not in You, theywould not have been.
My ceaseless linging hid the deeper truth,
In all my my disirings, I was desiring You.
Lord in my deafness You cried out to me.
I drew my breath and nowYour fragrance I breathe
O Fount of Life; You are forever the same;
O Fire of Love; come set me a flame.
