Deign from Thy glory, Saviour, now to shed On us Thy quickening Spirit’s influence, That, risen with Thee, our hearts with strong desire May seek the things above, and join the strain Of seraphs that surround Thy sapphire throne, Mingle our songs with theirs, till, in one tide Of harmony, the pealing anthem roll O’er the eternal hills, and waft Thy deathless fame.
