Full Lyrics
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 ev'ry breast:
Teach to judge and act aright,
Inspire with wisdom from above,
Holy faith, and heav'nly might,
And reverential love.
Lord, of thee we fain would learn
Thy heav'nly Father's will;
Give us quickness to discern,
And boldness to fulfil:
All his mind to us explain,
And all his name on us impress;
Then our souls in thee attain
The perfect righteousness.
