A hymn for Valentine's Day
Eternal Love, We Have No Good
Text written by Amy Carmichael (1867-1951)
Sung to ETERNAL LOVE, composed in 1960 by Kenneth S. Proctor (1895-1990)
V. 1 Eternal Love, we have no good to bring Thee,
No single good of all our hands have wrought,
No worthy music have we found to sing Thee,
No jewelled word, no quick upsoaring thought.
1 Kings 7:48, 50 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the Lord’s temple: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;...the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
V. 2 And yet we come; and when our faith would falter
Show us, O Love, the quiet place of prayer,
The golden censer and the golden altar,
And the great angel waiting for us there.
