John 2:11: To change the soul's ignoble taste

To change the soul's ignoble taste,
To' inspire the hope of things Divine,
Of pleasures pure which always last,
And change our water into wine,
Jesus at first His grace exerts.
And heavenward turns our earthly hearts.

Changed the strong bent of nature's will
With joy and wonder we confess.
New hopes, desires, sensations feel.
Hunger and thirst for righteousness.
And worship that incarnate Word,
And see that Glory of the Lord.
