Original text and translations

English text

O God of loveliness,
O Lord of Heav'n above,
How worthy to possess my heart's devoted love!

So sweet Thy Countenance,
So gracious to behold
That one, one only glance
To me were bliss untold.

To think Thou art my God,
O thought for ever blest!
My heart has overflowed
With joy within my breast.

My soul so full of bliss,
Is plunged as in a sea,
Deep in the sweet abyss
Of holy Charity.

Thou art blest Three in One,
Yet undivided still;
Thou art that One alone
Whose love my heart can fill.

The heav'ns and earth below,
Were fashioned by Thy Word;
How amiable art Thou,
My everdearest Lord!

O loveliness supreme,
And Beauty infinite;
O everflowing Stream,
And Ocean of delight;

O Life by which I live,
My truest life above,
To Thee alone I give
My undivided love.
