For more of thy mind, and thine image we pant; Thine image impress On thy favorite race, O fashion and polish thy vessels of grace. 7 Thy workmanship we More fully would be, Lord, stretch out thy hand and conform us to thee; While outward we move To Canaan above, Come fill us with holiness, fill us with love. 8 Vouchsafe us to know More of thee below Thus fit us for heaven, and glory bestow Our harps shall be tun'd, The Lamb shall be crown'd; Salvation to Jesus thro' heaven shall resound.
