<p>Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands<br>
|
|
That holy things have taken;<br>
|
|
Let ears that now have heard thy songs<br>
|
|
To clamor never waken.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, may the tongues which ‘Holy’ sang<br>
|
|
Keep free from all deceiving;<br>
|
|
The eyes which saw Thy love be bright<br>
|
|
Thy blessèd hope perceiving.</p>
|
|
<p>The feet that tread Thy holy courts<br>
|
|
From light do Thou not banish;<br>
|
|
The bodies by Thy body fed<br>
|
|
With Thy new life replenish.</p>
