Lo! its beauty now discerning. VIRTUE adds another wreath; And its growing glories learning, KNOWLEDGE hangs some fruits beneath. [Refrain] 3 TEMPERANCE has brought her lilies, Spotless white, to wind around:— Patience with her burden smiling, Plants its foot upon the ground. Sweet EXPERIENCE now shall aid her To sustain the lighter load, While fond HOPE inspires new vigor, Pointing to the blest abode. [Refrain] 4 Now in songs of loud hosannas, Lift our voices heavenward. Lo! what wondrous grace advances? “Holiness unto the Lord!” GODLINESS, her name—O hear it!— Welcome, loveliest sister, here!— Godliness in life and spirit, Godliness in faith and prayer. [Refrain] 5 Hark! a voice is speaking kindly: “Let us one another love.” Hail! all hail! O how divinely!— All our hearts thy words approve. LOVE, dear CHRISTIAN LOVE, come near us, While we join fond embrace; All is joy, and heaven seems near us; All our hearts are full of peace. [Refrain] 6 Yet again we give our greeting To another bright and fair, On whose brow with meekness meeting, Love and pity mingle there. Rise up, sister, not so lowly, Gifts of charms we bring to thee; We must fade before thy glory, CHARITY, sweet CHARITY. [Refrain] 7 While around the cross we gather, With our circle all complete, We implore Thee, gracious Father! That we all in heaven may meet. Now we part, but there remaineth FAITH, and HOPE, and CHARITY, These abideth, but the greatest Of the three is CHARITY.
