Thou, O Queen of sinless grace

Chorus
 Thou, O Queen of sinless grace,
 Now to our prayer unfold thy face,
 Awake again thy beauty free.
 Attune our lives with high romance,
 With lyric, song and choric dance,
 With hymn and holy symphony.
 Our thronging strength to the ends of the earth,
 Shall with a myriad voicèd song go forth.
 To lead o'er all the world's wide ways,
 God's everlasting praise;
 And every heart inspire
 With the joy of man in the beauty of love's desire.

by Robert Seymour Bridges (1844-1930) , no title, from Invocation to Music, no. 10, published 1895
