and visit it with thine own ardor glowing;

till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let its glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the glory strong,
for which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Pentecost; Prayer and Meditation; Spirituality and Spiritual Growth Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

offspring of Elysium,
mad with rapture, to the portal
of thy holy fane we come!
Fashion’s laws, indeed, may sever,
but thy magic joins again;
humankind is one forever
‘neath thy mild and gentle reign.
2 Joy, in nature’s wide dominion,
mightiest cause of all is found;
and ‘tis joy that moves the pinion,
when the wheel of time goes round;
from the bud she lures the flower,
suns from out their orbs of light;
distant spheres obey her power,
far beyond all mortal sight.

1 Freude, schóner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
wir betreten feuertrunken,
himmlische, dein Heiligtum.
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
was die Mode streng geteilt,
alle Menschen werden Brúder,
wo dein sanfter Flúgel weilt.
2 Freude heiefst die starke Feder
in der ewigen Natur.
Freude, Freude treibt die Ráder
in der grossen Weltenuhr.
Blumen lockt sie ausden Keimen,
Sonnen aus dem Firmament,
Spháren rollt sie in den Raumen,
die des Sehers Rohr nicht kennt. Topics: Humanist Teachings Beauty, Truth, and Goodness; God, Goddess, and Spirit; Humankind; Joy; Pagan Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
