Hear the hymn ascending, angels, saints, their voices blending. Bow your ear to us here; hearken, O Lord Jesus, to our humble praises. 3 O great Fount of blessing, purify my spirit, trusting only in your merit; like the holy angels gathered all before you, may I ceaselessly adore you. Let your will ever still rule your church terrestrial, as the hosts celestial. Used With Tune: ARNSBERG
