Verse 3 O Spirit of the Father, breathe on them from above, So mighty in Thy pureness, so tender in Thy love; That, guarded by Thy presence, from sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own Thy guidance, their hearts be rul'd by Thee. Verse 4 Except Thou build it, Father, the house is built in vain; Except Thou, Savior, bless it, the joy will turn to pain; But naught can break the union of hearts in Thee made one, And love Thy Spirit hallow'd is endless love begun....
