Lyics

OUR God, our life, our love,

To thee, to thee, we call;

We cannot live if thou remove,

For thou art all in all.



Nor earth, nor all the sky

Can one delight afford;

No, not a drop of real joy

Without thy presence, Lord.



Thou art the sea of love,

Where all our pleasures roll;

The circle where our passions move,

And centre of our soul.



Not all the hosts above,

Can give thee equal praise;

Holy, holy art thou, O Lord,

And just in all thy ways.
