1. Now let us see thy beauty, Lord,
1. Now let us see thy beauty, Lord,
  As we have seen before;
As we have seen before;
  And by thy beauty quicken us
And by thy beauty quicken us
  To love thee and adore.
To love thee and adore.


2. 'Tis easy when with simple mind
2. 'Tis easy when with simple mind
  Thy loveliness we see,
Thy loveliness we see,
  To consecrate ourselves afresh
To consecrate ourselves afresh
  To duty and to thee.
To duty and to thee.


3. Our ever-feverish mood is cooled,
3. Our ever-feverish mood is cooled,
  And gone is every load,
And gone is every load,
  When we can lose the love of self,
When we can lose the love of self,
  And find the love of God.
And find the love of God.


4. 'Tis by thy loveliness we're won
4. 'Tis by thy loveliness we're won
  To home and thee again,
To home and thee again,
  And as we are thy children true
And as we are thy children true
  We are more truly men.
We are more truly men.


5. Lord, it is coming to ourselves
5. Lord, it is coming to ourselves
  When thus we come to thee;
When thus we come to thee;
  The bondage of thy loveliness
The bondage of thy loveliness
  Is perfect liberty.
Is perfect liberty.


6. So now we come to ask again
6. So now we come to ask again
  What thou hast often given,
What thou hast often given,
  The vision of that loveliness
The vision of that loveliness
  Which is the life of heaven.
Which is the life of heaven.}}

1. Now let us see thy beauty, Lord,
 As we have seen before;
 And by thy beauty quicken us
 To love thee and adore.

2. 'Tis easy when with simple mind
 Thy loveliness we see,
 To consecrate ourselves afresh
 To duty and to thee.

3. Our ever-feverish mood is cooled,
 And gone is every load,
 When we can lose the love of self,
 And find the love of God.

4. 'Tis by thy loveliness we're won
 To home and thee again,
 And as we are thy children true
 We are more truly men.

5. Lord, it is coming to ourselves
 When thus we come to thee;
 The bondage of thy loveliness
 Is perfect liberty.

6. So now we come to ask again
 What thou hast often given,
 The vision of that loveliness
 Which is the life of heaven.
