to human need, our quickened hearts awake;
fill us with power, our lips make eloquent
for righteousness that shall all evil break.

with all your royal priesthood born of grace;
through us your church presents in word and deed
a living sacrifice with thanks and praise.
4 Anoint us kings! Help us do justice, Lord!
Anoint us with the Spirit of your Son:
ours not a monarch's crown or tyrant's sword;

by you inspired, may we count all but loss,
and stand at last with joy before your face.

and in thee thy saints shall rise.

sin alone can this destroy;
from sin's power do thou set free
souls new-born, O Lord, in thee.
