Deepen, Lord, the life divine,
In this barren heart of mine;—
As the branch is to the vine,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thine.
Deepen, Lord, the love divine,
In this lonely heart of mine;
Surest seal and sweetest sign,—
There thy perfect peace enshrine.
Light, and life, and love, Thou art;—
With thy grace, Thyself impart;
