012 – Concerning “O Beauty Ever Ancient”

“Oh late have I loved you, oh late have I turned, turned from seeking you in creatures, fleeing grief and pain within…”
This song is more revelatory than autobiographical. Really. The prayer by St. Augustine is great in and of itself. My adaptation of his words into lyrics for this song certainly shapes what he said. Yet I believe it’s still true to Augustine’s original direction.
