1.

Warm their hearts, beloved brother;
Heaven’s goodness give to them
With the mind of Christ, none other;
Heaven’s fullness will come in.
Warm their hearts, beloved brother;
Warm them with simplicity.
Warm them like a loving mother;
Look upon them tenderly.

2.

Warm their hearts, beloved brother;
Clever words they do not need—
With the mind of Christ, none other;
Then their hungry hearts you’ll feed.
Warm them like a hen who gathers
All her young beneath her wings.
There they feel her heartbeat tender—
Safe from all that worry brings.

3.

Warm their hearts, beloved brother,
Like a loving mother true,
With the mind of Christ, none other;
Show them heaven’s riches too.
Soon their time on earth has ended;
Through the gates of death they’ve passed.
Strengthen them with heaven’s comfort,
That they reach the goal at last.
