Our souls are fathered by Thine own,

And high as is Thy holy throne,

So high we mount from sin and strife.

We live Thy life, and love Thy love;

The tendrils of our souls entwine,

Entwines and draws us all above,

Our fellow men, as love divine.

We think and live and love and grow

Like Thee, in ever-bright’ning ways;

We are God-kind, and all our days
