O spread thy pure wing o'er them

Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 Oh, spread thy pure wing o'er them!
Let no ill Power find place,
While onward from thine altar
The hallowed path they trace.

2 Oh, make them, soul and body,
Thy living sacrifice,
Till to the home of gladness
With Christ's own Bride they rise.
