Lyics

Great Spirit of immortal love!

Vouchsafe our frozen hearts to move;

With ardor strong these breasts inflame

To all that own a Saviour's name.



Still let the heavenly fire endure

Fervent and vigorous, true and pure;

Let every heart and every hand

Join in the dear fraternal band.



Celestial Dove, descend and bring

The smiling blessings on thy wing;

And make us taste those sweets below

Which in the blissful mansions grow.
