Lord of Beauty, Thine the Splendour (Regent Square)

Lord of beauty, thine the splendor
Shown in earth and sky and sea
Burning sun and moonlight tender
Hill and river, flower and tree
Lest we fail our praise to render
Touch our eyes that they may see

Lord of wisdom, whom obeying
Mighty waters ebb and flow
While unhasting, undelaying
Planets on their courses go
In thy laws thyself displaying
Teach our minds thyself to know

Lord of life, alone sustaining
All below and all above
Lord of love, by whose ordaining
Sun and stars sublimely move
In our earthly spirits reigning
Lift our hearts that we may love

Lord of beauty, bid us own thee
Lord of truth, our footsteps guide
Till as Love our hearts enthrone thee
And, with vision purified
Lord of all, when all have known thee
Thou in all art glorified
