in living echoes of thy tone;

the precious things thou dost impart;
and wing my words, that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4. O fill me with thy fullness, Lord,

in kindling thought and glowing word,
thy love to tell, thy praise to show.

until thy blessed face I see,
thy rest, thy joy, thy glory share.
