O tender heart, strong Ark which doth enshrine
the whole sweet law that rules the heart of man;
No longer held as slaves beneath a ban,
Grateful and free we live by love divine.

O heart, O thou sanctuary undefiled,
O that new law of love unto us giv’n,
O veil more precious than of old was riv'n;
O temple holier than the ancients piled.

Under love's symbol, sweet to us and dread,
Mystic and human woes hath Christ endured,
Our priest whose sacrifice our heav’n secured,
Off’ring his blood and flesh as wine and bread.

What living heart is there that will not come
at his redeeming call, that doth not sigh
to give him love for love, and will not fly
Into his heart, our everlasting home

Honour be to the Father and the Son
And to the Holy Spirit honour be,
Pow’r, glory, always belong to the Three
Who through all ages live and love in one.
