| O Savior, may we never restTill Thou art formed within,
 Till Thou hast calmed our troubled breast,
 And crushed the power of sin.
 O may we gaze upon Thy cross,Until the wondrous sight
 Makes earthly treasures seem but dross,
 And earthly sorrows light.
 Until, released from carnal ties,Our spirit upward springs,
 And sees true peace above the skies,
 True joy in heavenly things.
 There as we gaze, may we becomeUnited, Lord, to Thee,
 And, in a fairer, happier home,
 Thy perfect beauty see.
