14 Lord, I abhor, renounce, abjure,
The fiery spirit unclean,
The persecuting zeal impure,
The sin-opposing sin. 15 Let others draw, with fierce despite,
The eradicating sword,
And with the devil's weapons fight,
The battles of the Lord. 16 But O' my gracious God, to me
A better spirit impart;
The gentle mind that was in thee,
The meekly loving heart. 17 The heart whose charity o'erflows
To all, far off, and near ;
True charity to friends and foes,
Impartially sincere. 18 Heathens, and Jews, and Turks, may I,
And heretics embrace;
Nor e'en to Rome the love deny
I owe to all the race.
