Jesus, fulfill our one desire,
And spread the spark of living fire
Through ever hallow’d breast:
Bless with divine conformity,
And give us now to find in thee
Our everlasting rest.
O that we now the power might feel,
To do on earth thy blessed will,
As angels do above:
To walk in thee, the Truth, the Way,
And ever perfectly obey
Thy sweet constraining love.
Be it my only wisdom here,
To serve the Lord with filial fear,
With loving gratitude:
Superior sense may I display,
By shunning every evil way,
And walking in the good.
