Charles Ives - Hymn of Trust lyrics
[Charles Ives - Hymn of Trust lyrics]
Love Divine, that stoop'd to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitt'rest tear
O Love Divine
We smile at pain while Thou art near
Though long the weary way we tread
And sorrow crown each ling'ring year
No path we shun no darkness dread
Our hearts still whisp'ring thou art near!
Love Divine, that stoop'd to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitt'rest tear
O Love Divine
On thee we cast each earthborn care
When drooping pleasure turns to grief
And trembling faith is turn'd to fear
The murm'ring wind, thе quiv'ring leaf
Shall tell us softly thou art near!
O Thee wе fling our burd'ning woe
O Love Divine, forever dear
Content to suffer, while we know
Living and dying thou art near!
Our sharpest pang, our bitt'rest tear
O Love Divine
We smile at pain while Thou art near
Though long the weary way we tread
And sorrow crown each ling'ring year
No path we shun no darkness dread
Our hearts still whisp'ring thou art near!
Love Divine, that stoop'd to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitt'rest tear
O Love Divine
On thee we cast each earthborn care
When drooping pleasure turns to grief
And trembling faith is turn'd to fear
The murm'ring wind, thе quiv'ring leaf
Shall tell us softly thou art near!
O Thee wе fling our burd'ning woe
O Love Divine, forever dear
Content to suffer, while we know
Living and dying thou art near!
