<p>Thou spakest, Lord, and into one<br>
|
|
The floods together flowed;<br>
|
|
Freed from its watery veil, the land<br>
|
|
Its verdant pastures showed.</p>
|
|
<p>O Father, Who the earth has given<br>
|
|
Our place of toil to be,<br>
|
|
Knit all within its one wide bound<br>
|
|
In one true charity.</p>
|
|
<p>Strangers and pilgrims here below,<br>
|
|
We seek a home above,<br>
|
|
Where Thou wilt gather in Thine own<br>
|
|
Who live in holy love.</p>
|
|
<p>Unloving words, with deeds of ill<br>
|
|
And words of angry strife,<br>
|
|
Shall never, Lord, Thy glory see,<br>
|
|
Nor win the heavenly life.</p>
|
|
<p>The earth itself from day to day<br>
|
|
Their burden scarce sustains,<br>
|
|
And yearns, in travail, to be free<br>
|
|
From dark corruption’s chains.</p>
|
|
<p>Yea, we too groan within ourselves,<br>
|
|
And that adoption wait<br>
|
|
For which the Holy Spirit’s seal<br>
|
|
Did us predestinate.</p>
|
|
<p>Eternal glory be ascribed<br>
|
|
To God, the One in Three,<br>
|
|
By Whom is poured into our hearts<br>
|
|
The grace of charity.</p>
