We lift our hearts, O Father,
to thee, our voices raise,
for these thy suppliant servants,
in mingled prayer and praise:
Praise for the joy of loving,
all other joys above,
praise for the priceless blessing
of love's response to love;
Prayer that the sweet surrender
of self may perfect be,
that each be one with other,
and both be one in thee;
Prayer that the bond between them
may be as closely tied
as is the bond that bindeth
Christ and his holy Bride;
Prayer that thou wilt accomplish
the promise of today,
and crown the years with blessing
that shall pass away;
Praise for the hope most glorious
that looks beyond the veil,
where faith and hope shall vanish,
but love shall never fail.
