But Thy love hath made my lips rejoice,

And I can sing and say,

‘I am pure, O Lord, for Thou art pure,

Thy love and mine are one;

And my robe is white, for Thine is white,

And brighter than the sun.

Thy mouth and mine can know no moan,

No note of man’s sad mirth,

But the everlasting joy alone,

Unknown to songs of earth;
