That the doubly dead might live.
Lord Thou wast on earth reveal'd.
That we might Thy mind retrieve.
By Thy promised Spirit seal'd.
Pardon'd, perfectly renew'd,
Saved with all the life of God.

Answer then Thy bless'd design,
Bring to me the life of grace,
Bring me larger life Divine,
Fill my soul with holiness,
Fit me for the life above.
All Thy life of heavenly love.
