1 Give me Thy beauty, Thou who art uplifted
On Calvary's cross, Thy visage more than marred--
Beauty of holiness, Thy perfect glory,
Thy form divine with spear and nail-print scarred.
2 Give me Thy joy, O wounded Man of Sorrows,
Thy joy filled full in those dark hours of pain--
Joy in Thy fellowship, despises, rejected,
Bearing all grief that Love may live again.
3 Give me Thy patience, Thou who art afflicted,
Dumb as the sheep beneath the shearer's hand,
Stripped of all honour naked and made nothing,
Meekly enduring at Love's strong command.
4 Give me Thy love, O Saviour all-prevailing,
Love that walks fearless through the shadowed vale--
Love that in death can sing its song of triumph:
Give me Thy love--Thy love can never fail.
