1     O blessed, living Lord,

       Engage our hearts with Thee,

    And strike within some answ'ring chord

       To love so rich and free!

 2     To know Thy loving heart!

       To cleave to Thy blest side!

    To gaze upon Thee where Thou art,

       And in Thy love abide!

 3     To walk with Thee below!

       To learn Thy holy ways!

    And more to Thine own stature grow,

       To Thine eternal praise!

 4     Thyself our one Desire!

       Thyself our Object here!

    The goal to which our hearts aspire —

       To meet Thee in the air!
