Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands

Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands
that holy things have taken;
and let the ears that heard your word
to falsehood never waken.

The tongues that sang your holy name
now purge of all deception;
keep bright the eyes that saw your love
and sharpen their perception.

And may the feet that walked your courts
be never lured to wander;
but lead the faithful nourished here
to journey on in splendor.
