¶Lyrics / Text

Here perpetual incense burns; The heart to meditation turns, And all delights and passions spurns. A thousand brilliant hues arise, More lovely than the evening skies, And pictures paint before our eyes. All the spirit's storm and stress Is stilled into a nothingness, And healing powers descend and bless. Refreshed, we rise and turn again To mingle with this world of pain, As on roses falls the rain.
