Sweet is the odour of Thy grace

Verse 1
Sweet is the odour of thy grace;
Thy name pour’d forth fills all the place
With heavenly fragancy [fragrancy]:
Thy precious name the virgins love,
Drawn by that unction from above,
They run; they cleave to thee.

Verse 2
Thy people sav’d are virgins wise,
They see thy face with ravish’d eyes,
When faith hath purg’d their heart;
Cleans’d by the water and the word
Thy saints from their beloved Lord
Nor life nor death shall part.
