Still at the stated hours of prayer

Still at the stated hours of prayer
We hold communion with our God,
Who then doth his designs declare,
And sheds his richest love abroad:
Detatch’d, upborn from things below
We comprehend our Saviour’s mind,
And feel, when Him we fully know,
Our hearts inlarg’d to all mankind.
