Smile on me from the mer­cy seat.
And make this low­ly heart of mine Thy home,
Angels pro­claimed the joy­ful news
From sup­pli­ant voic­es praise and pray­er.

As Thou has deigned to bless
With Thine own re­splen­dent ray,
And learn from Thee above.
From the grave Thou didst save;
Our bright­est and our fair­est,
Raise the plants, en­rich the soil;
Brighter than the sun’s bright car,
Restores the lost, and heals the spir­it brok­en,
O Thou that fill’st im­men­si­ty.
To them who by His pre­cepts live!
With fos­ter­ing grace the ti­mid flame
To bear him in Thy mind!
