And fix our thoughts on things divine.

3The word of life dispensed to-day

Invites us to a heavenly feast.

May every ear the call obey;

Be every heart a humble guest;

O bid the wretched sons of need

On soul-reviving dainties feed.

4Thy spirit's powerful aid impart;

O may thy word, with life divine,

Engage the ear, and warm the heart;
