Thy love it is my heart desires.

Thy glory shall my discourse be;

In images I picture Thee,

Although Thyself I cannot see.

O Thou whose word is truth alway,

Thy people seek Thy face this day;

O be Thou near them when they pray.

O may my words of blessing rise

To Thee, who, throned above the skies,

Art just and mighty, great and wise.
