In holy praise to Thee, Love, peace and joy upspringing, Fill more than earth with winging— Eternity. 3 Grant us such faith to live, And draw us daily nearer. A faith to see Thee clearer, Dear, Lord, now give. Thus shall our every breath Confess Thy name for ever, In faith that naught shall sever, In life or death.
