Collected, perfected in one,
Jesus, thy sinless people shew,
And thro’ the wondring world make known
Thy glorious, spotless church below:
O might I on her glories gaze!
Her glories all to me be given,
When God vouchsafes to sound her praise,
And spread her fame thro’ earth and heaven.
Collected, perfected in one
