There Is a Beauty Born of Love

O. D. Sherman • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:21

Verse 1

There is a beauty born of love, More bright than sunshine beaming, More radiant than the stars above, Or gold and diamonds gleaming.

Chorus

Oh, beauty, bright and fair, divine, The world has known thee never; Oh, may thy light around me shine, And guide my way forever.

Verse 2

That beauty beams from Zion’s mount, And glows in Bethle’m’s story, Illumes Samaria’s sacred fount, And makes the Cross our glory.

Chorus

Oh, beauty, bright and fair, divine, The world has known thee never; Oh, may thy light around me shine, And guide my way forever.

Verse 3

That beauty crowns the lowly saint, Whose heart its light is cheering, Who, toiling on, shall never faint, But wait the Lord’s appearing.

Chorus

Oh, beauty, bright and fair, divine, The world has known thee never; Oh, may thy light around me shine, And guide my way forever.

Verse 4

And when the light of life grows dim, And fades all earthly pleasure The beauty of the Lord shall win An everlasting treasure.

Chorus

Oh, beauty, bright and fair, divine, The world has known thee never; Oh, may thy light around me shine, And guide my way forever.
