1 Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands
that holy things have taken;
let ears that now have heard your songs
to clamour never waken.
2 Lord, may the tongues which 'Holy' sang
keep free from all deceiving;
the eyes which saw your love be bright,
the glorious hope perceiving:
3 The feet that tread your holy courts
from light be never banished;
the bodies by your Body fed,
be with new life replenished.
