Spirit unseen, our spirit's home,
Whereso'er o'er earth we roam,
Lost in depths of trackless wood,
Tost on ocean's desert flood,
By the Old World's sacred haunts,
Or the New World's soaring wants,
Peopled isle or coral shoal,
We through Thee are one in soul.
Spirit of forgiving love,
Come and shelter from above
Those who claim Thee as their own,
Or who follow Thee unknown;
Come and fill with second life
Minds distraught with doubt and strife ;
Conquering with Thy bloodless sword
Be the conquered's great reward.
When the pulse of youth beats high,
Be Thy still small warning nigh ;
When for great resolves we yearn,
Towards the cross our manhood turn ;
When our locks grow scant and hoary,
Light them with Thy crown of glory ;
When at last we come to die.
Sparkle in the vacant eye,
Hope of Immortality.
