Thou mak’st the soul with joy to sing,
When sorrow’s clouds are deepening;
With Jesus Christ Thou mak’st us one,
Earnest of heaven, from God’s high throne.
Best gift of God, and man’s true Friend,
Into my inmost soul descend;
The mind of Jesus Christ impart,
And consecrate to Thee my heart.
Teach me to do my Father’s will,
Beneath his guidance to lie still;
