SO let it be! The prayer that Christ enjoins

        Lives ever in our soul and on our tongue!

So let it be! The worship He assigns—

 Our great Creator—with thanksgiving song,

From hearths, in temples, yea, the woods among,

Pour forth! So let it be! As drooping vines

Drink the reviving shower, so sink along

Our hearts His precepts! Lo, one word enshrines

Full attestation of our faith! “Amen”

Includes the sum of our assent, and bears

The seal of truth: it is the wing of prayers,

Speeding the voice of millions, not in vain,

To God’s high throne, borne on seraphic airs,

To ratify in Heaven our glorious gain!
