The glorious universe around, The heavens with all their train, Sun, moon, and stars are firmly bound In one mysterious chain. In one fraternal bond of love, One fellowship of mind, The saints below, the saints above, Their bliss and glory find. Here, in their house of pilgrimage, Thy statutes are their song; There, through one bright eternal age, Thy praises they prolong! Lord, may our union form a part Of that thrice happy whole, Derive its pulse from Thee, the heart, Its life from Thee, the soul.
