Thou Lovely Source of True Delight
Unveiling Divine Love: A Journey of Adoration and Hope
Lyrics
Thou lovely source of true delight whom I unseen adore
Expressing devotion to an unseen source of true delight.
Unveil Thy beauties to my sight that I might love Thee more
Requesting the revelation of the beauty of the divine to deepen love.
Oh that I might love Thee more
Expressing a desire for increased love towards the divine.
Thy glory o'er creation shines yet in Thy sacred word
Acknowledging the divine's glory in creation and sacred word.
I read in fairer brighter lines my bleeding, dying Lord
Finding the portrayal of the divine in sacred writings, especially in the context of sacrifice.
Oh my bleeding, dying Lord
Reiterating the connection to the suffering of the divine.
'Tis here whene'er my comforts droop and sin and sorrows rise
Finding solace in the divine's love during times of difficulty.
Thy love with cheering beams of hope my fainting heart supplies
Describing how divine love provides hope during moments of weakness.
My fainting heart's supplied
Highlighting the sustaining power of divine love for the heart.
And ah too soon the pleasing scene is clouded over with pain
Expressing the temporary nature of joy, clouded by pain and complaints.
My gloomy fears rise dark between and I again complain
Describing the intrusion of fears and complaints during challenging times.
Oh and I again complain
Repeating the tendency to voice complaints in moments of darkness.
Jesus my Lord, my life, my light, oh come with blissful ray
Addressing Jesus as Lord, life, and light, seeking the dispelling of fears.
Break radiant through the shades of night and chase my fears away
Invoking the divine to break through darkness and bring comfort.
Won't you chase my fears away
Reiterating the plea for the removal of fears through divine intervention.
Then shall my soul with rapture trace the wonders of Thy love
Anticipating joy and wonder in the soul through the divine's love.
But the full glories of Thy face are only known above
Acknowledging that the full glory of the divine is known in the afterlife.
They are only known above
Reiterating that the complete knowledge of divine glory is reserved for the afterlife.
Oh come let us adore
An invitation to adore the divine.
My bleeding dying Lord
Repeating the connection to the suffering of the divine as a focal point of adoration.
