Great spirit of immortal love, Vouchsafe our frozen hearts to move; With ardor strong these breasts inflame To all that own a Savior's name.

Still let the heavenly fire endure Fervent and vigorous, true and pure: Let every heart and every hand Join in the dear fraternal band.

Celestial dove, descend, and bring The smiling blessings on thy wing: And make us taste those sweets below Which in the blissful mansions grow.
