With all that God can give;
He who is, and was, in peace
And grace, and plenitude of power,
Come your favored souls to bless,
And never leave you more!

In His various gifts sent down,
Be to the churches given;
Let the pure seraphic joy
From Jesus Christ the Just descend,
Holiness without alloy,
And bliss which ne’er shall end.
