O Church of Freedom and of Faith,
Give ear to what the Spirit saith, —
" Behold, I set an open door
Before thee, to be shut no more! "

Then let no impious hands e'er dare
To shut out God's free light and air;
Let never bigot's narrow wall
Shut in the Grace which flows for all!

May he, O God, who comes to-day
To teach thy Truth, thy Life, thy Way
In thy high service bear his part
With open mind and open heart!

And O may all who gather here
Hold reverence precious, freedom dear,
And to the Spirit more and more
Be every soul an open door!
