“The earth and they who dwell thereon
Belong unto the Lord, —
From His own hand all things have come
According to his word.

All power doth to him belong,
All praise to Him is due;
They who would truly honor Him
Must seek his will to do.

The pure and undefiled in heart,
who walk in righteousness, —
To these alone he doth impart
The gift of blessedness.

Then open wide the gates of faith
And bid Him enter in.
What joy, what peace, what glory waits
For those who worship Him!”
