SPIRIT of the living God, In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love To preach the reconciling word; Give power and unction from above, Whene'er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light; Confusion, order in Thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might, Bid mercy triumph over wrath. 4 O Spirit of the Lord! prepare All the round earth her God to meet; Breathe Thou abroad, like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 6 God from eternity hath willed All flesh shall His salvation see; So be the Father's love fulfilled, The Saviour's sufferings crowned through Thee. C.M. 308 Behold, I make all things 'new.— 1 Rev. 21, 5. SPIRIT of power and might, behold A world by sin destroyed; Creator-Spirit, as of old, Move on the formless void. 2 Give Thou the word-that healing Shall quell the deadly strife, [sound And earth again, like Eden crowned, Produce the tree of life. 3 If sang the morning stars for joy, What strains will angels' harps employ 4 And if the sons of God rejoice How will the ransomed raise their voice, To whom that Saviour came! 5 So every kindred, tongue, and tribe, Assembling round the throne, Thy new creation shall ascribe To sovereign love alone. L.M. 309 The Spirit of glory and of God 1 SPIRIT resteth upon you.-1 Peter 4, 14. PIRIT of mercy, truth, and love! O shed Thy influence from above, And still from age to age inspire Thy church with Pentecostal fire. 2 In every clime, by every tongue, Be God's amazing glory sung, Let all the listening earth be taught The acts our great Redeemer wrought. 3 Unfailing Comfort! heavenly Guide! Still o'er Thy favoured church preside Still may mankind Thy blessings prove Spirit of mercy, truth, and love! THE HOLY TRINITY. 148th. 310 To God only wise, be glory... for 1 ever.-Rom. 16, 27. WE E give immortal praise To God the Father's love, For all our comforts here And better hopes above: He sent His own eternal Son To die for sins that man had done. N To God the Son belongs Immortal glory too, Who bought us with His blood And now on high He lives and reigns, To God the Spirit's name Immortal worship give, Whose new creating power Makes the dead sinner live: His work completes the great design, Almighty God! to Thee Be endless honours done, And the mysterious One: Where reason fails with all her powers, There faith prevails and love adores. L.M. 311 There are Three that bear record 1 in heaven.-1 John 5, 7.
