The Love that Clothes Itself in Light

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15:19-47 Lyrics: 1 The Love that clothes itself in light stands naked now, despised, betrayed, receiving blows to face and head from hands that Love itself has made. 2 The Love that lifts the stars and sun collapses, spent, beneath the cross; the Love that fills the universe, goes on to death and total loss. 3 Love, helpless, comes to Calvary, rejected, scorned and crucified; Love hangs in shame, and dies alone, but Love abased, is glorified. 4 Extinguished with the sun at noon, Love's light transcends all history; Love, wrapped in linen, Love entombed, still wraps all heaven in mystery. 5 Though Love is lost, Love finds us here; though Love is absent, Love remains; where Love is finished, Love begins; where Love is dead, Love lives and reigns!
