Hymn: Great Over-Soul and Inter-Heart

Great Over-Soul and Inter-Heart,

Of whom we feel ourselves a part,

To whom all souls forever tend,

Our Father, Mother, nearest Friend.

This church with love to thee we bring,

And while our spirits inly* sing,

We pray that it may ever be

A Home for all who seek for thee.

The home of faith in all things true,

A faith that seeks the larger view,

The home of love that yearns to bless.

The home of truth and righteousness.

Long may it stand, the outward sign

Of that indwelling Life divine,

Which makes thy children truly free,

And draws them ever nearer thee.

*The word "inly" was in common usage in Mary Safford's day and means inwardly, intimately, thoroughly.
