Branch of Jes­se’s stem, arise,
And in our na­ture grow;
Turn our earth to pa­ra­dise,
By flour­ish­ing be­low:
Bless us with the Spir­it of grace
Immeasurably shed on Thee;
Pour on all the faith­ful race
The stream­ing De­ity!

Let the Spir­it of our Head
On all the mem­bers rest;
From Thy­self to us pro­ceed,
And dwell in ev­ery breast;
Teach to judge and act aright,
Inspire with wis­dom from above,
Holy faith and hea­ven­ly might,
And rev­er­en­tial love.

Lord, of Thee we fain would learn
Thy hea­ven­ly Fa­ther’s will;
Give us quickn­ess to dis­cern,
And bold­ness to ful­fill:
All His mind to us ex­plain,
And His name on us im­press,
Then our souls thro’ Thee at­tain
The spot­less right­eous­ness.
