Eternal Love, we have no good to bring Thee

by Amy Carmichael (1867–1951)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 496.

Verse 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 up soaring thought.

Verse 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.
