Verse 1
CENTRE of our hopes thou art, End of our enlarged desires; Stamp thine image on our heart, Fill us now with heavenly fires; Cemented by love divine, Seal our souls for ever thine.
Verse 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.
Verse 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!
