Then cleansed be every life from sin;
Make straight the way for God within
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.

We hail You as our Savior Lord
Our refuge and our great reward;
Without Your grace we waste away
Like flow rs that wither and decay.

And make us rise to fall no more;
Oh let Your face upon us shine
And fill the world with love divine.
