Hymn 66 – From these Thy children gathered in Thy name

Hymn 66 – “From these Thy children…,”
Music: R. Vaughan Williams;
Lyrics: Violet Hay.

From these Thy children gathered in Thy name, 

From hearts made whole, from lips redeemed from woe, 

Thy praise, O Father, shall forever flow. 

Alleluia! Alleluia!

O perfect Life, in Thy completeness held, 

None can beyond Thy omnipresence stray; 

Safe in Thy Love, we live and sing alway 

Alleluia! Alleluia!

O perfect Mind, reveal Thy likeness true, 

That higher selfhood which we all must prove, 

Joy and dominion, love reflecting Love. 

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou, Soul, inspiring — give us vision clear, 

Break earth-bound fetters, sweep away the veil, 

Show the new heaven and earth that shall prevail. 

Alleluia! Alleluia!
