 Finish then Thy new creation!

Pure and spotless may we be;

Let us see Thy great salvation,

Perfectly restor'd in Thee;

Changed from glory into glory,

Till in Heav'n we take our place;

Till we cast our crowns before Thee,

Lost in wonder, love and praise.

Lord, if Thou Thy grace impart,

Poor in spirit, meek in heart,

Like the Saviour we shall be,

Cloth'd with His humility.

Simple, teachable, and mild;

Humble as a little child;

Pleas'd with what the Lord provides;

Wean'd from all the world besides.

Father fix our souls on Thee;

Ev'ry evil let us flee;

Always happy in Thy love;

Looking for our rest above.

All that seek will surely find

Ev'ry good in Christ combin'd;

Him let Israel still adore,

Trust and praise Him evermore.

Lord of the worlds above,

How pleasant and how fair

The dwellings of Thy love,

Thy earthly temples are!
