Thou, O Queen of sinless grace Matches original text
Language: English
Chorus Thou, O Queen of sinless grace, Now to our prayer unfold thy face, Awake again thy beauty free. Attune our lives with high romance, With lyric, song and choric dance, With hymn and holy symphony. Our thronging strength to the ends of the earth, Shall with a myriad voicèd song go forth. To lead o'er all the world's wide ways, God's everlasting praise; And every heart inspire With the joy of man in the beauty of love's desire.
