Lyrics:

Strengthen for service, O Lord, hands that holy things have taken; and let ears that heard your most holy word to lesser things never awaken. Lord, may tongues which "Holy" sang be free from all deceiving, may eyes which saw your love be bright, heavenly hope perceiving; and may feet that walked along hallowed courts from your true light never be banished. May bodies by your Body fed be with your new life replenished. Amen 
[text: Ephraim of Syria, c. 303-373]
