And, when thou hearest, O forgive!

2Here, when thy messengers proclaim

The blessed Gospel of thy Son,

Still, by the power of his great name,

Be mighty signs and wonders done.

3But will indeed Jehovah deign

Here to abide, no transient guest?

Here will the world's Redeemer reign,

And here the Holy Spirit rest?

4That glory never hence depart!
