LOVER Divine, whose love has sought and found me,
Thou dolt not leave me when the night is round me;
Cause me to be held fast by Love eternal,
More than a Conqueror.
Open mine eyes to see the stars above me,
Quicken my heart that I may feel Thee love me;
Make me and keep me through Thy love eternal
More than a Conqueror.
What storms can shatter, gloom of darkness frighten
One whom the Lord doth shelter, cherish, lighten?
O let me be, through powers of love eternal,
More than a Conqueror.
―Amy Carmichael.
