Dear friend, whose presence in the house,
Whose gracious word benign
Could once, at Cana�s wedding feast,
Change water into wine;
Come, visit us! and when dull work
Grows weary, line on line,
Revive our souls, and let us see
Life�s water turned to wine.
Gay mirth shall deepen into joy,
Earth�s hopes grow half divine,
When Jesus visits us, to make
Life�s water glow as wine.
The social talk, the evening fire,
The homely household shrine,
Grow bright with angel visits, when
The Lord pours out the wine.
For when self-seeking turns to love,
Not knowing mine nor thine,
The miracle again is wrought,
And water turned to wine.
