Fire cannot burn, nor can the waters drown us;
They can but call Thy gracious help again.
And lovingkindness, tender mercies crown us,
Though we be least of all the sons of men.
O what a Love that patiently empowereth;
O what a Love that blesseth common days,
In earthly garden soweth seed that flowereth
In light and gladness; Lord, Thy love we praise!
