Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love love recompenses the adorers.

The line urges a devotional attitude toward both the physical and the emotional life. To “hallow the body” frames bodily existence not as something to deny, but as something to honor—kept beautiful, dignified, and worthy, like a sacred space. To “sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love” shifts the emphasis to inward offering: love is not merely felt but served, even at personal cost. The closing claim—“love recompenses the adorers”—suggests a spiritual economy in which sincere devotion to love yields its own return, whether as joy, meaning, or inner transformation rather than material reward.
