Dear Love, hallow this house which Thou hast built—
The windows of our eyes that we may see
The ever wider visions that Thou wilt
Unfold, man and creation one with Thee.
Hallow its rock, the firmness of our stand
In Truth, its ample doorways, symbols of
Our open arms and of each outstretched hand
To welcome strangers, all Thy children, Love;
Upon the altar of each humble heart
Inscribe Thy name; forever dedicate
Desires and will to see Thee as Thou art—
Author and finisher on whom we wait.
