Since thou, O fondest and truest,
hast loved me best and longest,
And now with trust the strongest
the joy of my heart renewest;
Since thou art deared and dearer
while other hearts grow colder,
And ever, as love is older,
more lovingly drawest nearer.
Since now I see in the measure
of all my giving and taking,
Thou wert my hand in the making,
the sense and the soul of my pleasure;
The good I have repaid thee,
in heav'n I pray be recorded,
And all thy love rewarded,
by God, thy master that made thee.
Lyrics: Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930)
