Victorious Love
Author: John H. Yates, 1837-1900 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11197 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: O love, divine, victorious love Lyrics: 1 O love, divine, victorious love,
O come and dwell with me!
Though I by faith could mountains move,
I’m nothing without thee;
Thy worth has never yet been sung,
Nor can it ever be;
Though I could speak with angels’ tongue
I’m nothing without thee.
2 Though I my worldly goods should give
To feed the starving poor,
This would not be for Christ to live,
Nor could it Heav’n secure;
And should I compass land and sea,
Or face devouring flame;
Still, without thee, my zeal would be,
Only an empty name.
3 All tongues of eloquence shall cease,
And be of no avail,
But thou shalt evermore increase,
For love can never fail;
All knowledge which we strive to gain,
Shall vanish soon away,
But love shall evermore remain,
And lead to endless day.
4 O love, divine, thy worth unsung,
Let me thy presence feel!
Baptize with heav’nly fire my tongue,
And sanctify my zeal;
Enlarge my vision’s narrow scope,
And lift my thoughts above;
Though faith is great, and great is hope,
Yet greater, far, is love! Languages: English Tune Title: BAWARDY
