Thy Name, O Christ, as incense streaming forth
Sweetens our names before God's Holy Face;
Luring us from the south and from the north
Unto the sacred place.
Sweetens our names before God's Holy Face;
Luring us from the south and from the north
Unto the sacred place.
In Thee God's promise is Amen and Yea.
What art Thou to us? Prize of every lot,
Shepherd and Door, our Life and Truth and Way:—
Nay, Lord, what art Thou not?

Shepherd and Door, our Life and Truth and Way:—
Nay, Lord, what art Thou not?
