Oh, late have I loved you,
Oh, late have I turned
Turned from seeking you in creatures,
Fleeing grief and pain within.
O Beauty, ever ancient,
O Beauty, ever new:
You, the mirror of my life renewed,
Let me find my life in you!
My unloveliness I ran from,
Turned to seek you in all things,
Things you fashioned as a pathway
Yet I lost myself in them.
O Beauty, ever ancient,
O Beauty, ever new:
You, the mirror of my life renewed,
Let me find my life in you!
This created world is glorious,
Yet I could not see within,
See your loveliness behind all,
Find the Giver in the gift.
O Beauty, ever ancient,
O Beauty, ever new:
You, the mirror of my life renewed,
Let me find my life in you!
I had wandered far, perceiving
That I walked my road alone.
Yet you called, you shone, you summoned,
And you drew my spirit home.
O Beauty, ever ancient,
O Beauty, ever new:
You, the mirror of my life renewed,
Let me find my life in you!
In your loveliness you made me,
In your godly image true
by your grace you have renewed me
Let me live my life in you!
O Beauty, ever ancient,
O Beauty, ever new:
You, the mirror of my life renewed,
Let me find my life in you!
