Página 119 - Oh, the fathomless love, That has deign'd to approve And prosper the work of my hands, With my pastoral crook. I went over the brook, And behold I am spread into bands ! Who, I ask in amaze, Hath begotten me these ? And inquire from what quarter they came ; My full heart it replies, They are born from the skies, And gives glory to God and the Lamb...
