So, deep in my soul the still prayer of devotion,
Unheard by the world, rises silent to Thee!

As still, to the Star of its Worship, though clouded,

Be wiped from every eye.

Then, Judah! thou no more shalt mourn
Beneath the heathen's chain;
Thy days of splendour shall return,
And all be new again.

The Fount of life shall then be quaffed
In peace by all who come!
And every wind that blows shall waft.
Some long-lost exile home!

ALMIGHTY GOD!

And Love that 'fadeth not away,')
We bless the flowers, expanded all,2
We bless the leaves that never fall,
And trembling say, 'In Eden thus
The Tree of Life may flower for us!
