His rod of dread powers

Shall bind with sweet flowers,

In the ark of His covenant love.

Then kneel; for the prayer of the lowly

As incense, all odour shall be,

In the cloud of the holocaust holy,

That pleads in His presence for thee.

His word, like strong mountains,

Still shed forth the fountains

Of strength from His presence for thee.
