Hymns of the Church ‎#355

355. Pray, O Church, Be Sanctified

1 Pray, O church, be sanctified
With the holy ointment, Jesus' Spirit be applied
In the soul's appointment.
Be therefore, evermore,
Prayer and fervent pleading
From thy lips proceeding.

2 Consecrate thy offering,
And thy spirit's longing
Unto Him, whose suffering
Draws thee to Him strongly.
Sweet incense be it hence
That to God's throne soareth
When thy heart imploreth.

3 Draw in spirit ever nigh,
Pray within your chambers,
Lifting holy hands on high,
Holy keep your members,
Holy be ev'ry plea
That to God is springing,
Strength and blessing bringing.
