Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
With patience firm, and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.

Thou in thy sevenfold gifts art known;
Thee Finger of God's hand we own;
The promise of the Father thou!
Who dost the tongue with pow'r endow.

All glory while the ages run
Be to the Father and the Son
Who rose from death; the same to Thee,
O Holy Ghost eternally.
