- 1. Centre of our hopes thou art,
- End of our enlarged desires;
- Stamp thine image on our heart;
- Fill us now with heav'nly fires;
- Cemented by love divine,
- Seal our souls for ever thine.
- 2. All our works in thee be wrought,
- Levelled at one common aim;
- Every word, and every thought,
- Purge in the refining flame:
- Lead us through the paths of peace,
- On to perfect holiness.
- 3. Let us all together rise,
- To thy glorious life restored,
- Here regain our paradise,
- Here prepare to meet our Lord;
- Here enjoy the earnest given,
- Travel hand in hand to heaven!
