A Holy air is breathing round,

A fragrance from above;

Be every soul from sense unbound,

Be every spirit love.

O God, unite us heart to heart,

In sympathy divine,

That we be never drawn apart,

And love not Thee nor Thine;

But, by the cross of Jesus taught,

And all Thy gracious word,

Be nearer to each other brought,

And nearer to the Lord.
