O matchless beauty of our God So ancient and so new, Kindle in us Your flame of love; Fall on us as the dew! How late we come to love you, Lord; How strong the hold of sin! Your beauty speaks from all that is: Your likeness pleads within. You called and cried, yet we were deaf; Our stubborn wills you bent; You shed your fragrance and we caught A moment of its scent. You blazed and sparked, yet our hearts To lesser glories turned; Your radiance touched us far from home; Your beauty in us burned! And should our faith grow weak and fall, Tried in the wilderness, Let beauty blossom out of ash And streams of water bless! O matchless beauty of our God So ancient and so new, Enfold on us Your fire of love; Anoint us with You dew! Augustine of Hippo 354 – 430
