We fall from all our towering hopes,
Down to eternal night.

4 Subdue the power of every sin,
Whate'er that sin may be ;
That we in singleness of heart,.
May worship only Thee.

5 Then with our spirits witness bear
That we are sons of God,

191

Redeemed from sin, and death, and hell,
Through Christ's atoning blood.

His Attributes and Works.

SPIRIT

PIRIT of power, and truth, and love! Who sitt'st enthroned in light above, Descend, and bear us on thy wings, Far from these low and fleeting things. 2 'Tis thine the wounded soul to heal; 'Tis thine to make the harden'd feel; Thine to give light to blinded eyes, And bid the grov'lling spirit rise. 3 Compass'd by foes on every side, By sin and sore temptation tried ; Where can we look or whither flee, If not, Great STRENGTHENER, to Thee? 4 When faith is weak and courage fails, When grief or doubt our soul assails;

L. M.

Who can, like Thee, our spirits cheer?
Great COMFORTER be ever near.

5 Like captives at their prison grate,
We mourn our languishing estate :
Thou only canst our bonds untie,
Great SANCTIFIER hear our cry.

6 Come, Holy Spirit, like the fire,

With burning zeal our souls inspire;
Come, like the south wind, breathing balm,
Our joys refresh, our passions calm ;

7 Come like the sun's enlightening beam;
Come like the cooling, cleansing stream;
With all thy graces present be-
SPIRIT OF GOD we wait for Thee.

192

The Spirit Invoked.

COME, Holy Spirit, come,

Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.

2 Raise our desponding hearts,
Thou heav'nly Paraclete;
Give us to lie with humble hope,
At our Redeemer's feet.

3 Revive our drooping faith,
Our doubts and fears remove,

W. L. A.

S. M.

And kindle in our hearts the flame
Of never-dying love.

4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,

Το pour fresh life on every part,
And new-create the whole.

5 Dwell therefore in our hearts,

Our minds from bondage free:

Then we shall know, and praise, and love,
And still be blest in Thee.

and the World.

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 list'ning earth be taught
The acts our great Redeemer wrought.
3 Unfailing Comfort! heavenly Guide!
Still o'er thy favour'd church preside;
Still may mankind thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth, and love!

IV. THE TRINITY.

A Revealed Truth.

SELF-EXISTENT One in Three,

0 Jehovah, God alone,

In glory wrapt, invisible,
By Revelation known!

2 Incomprehensible Thou art,
And all research is vain ;
Nor even can the wise in heart
The mystery explain.

3 Yet does thy holy Word declare,

That we may learn thy name;—
That they who worship Thee in truth
Thy praises may proclaim.

4 Then teach us, Lord, thy name of love,
By Revelation known:

Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord,
Jehovah, God alone.

C. M.

Praise to the Trinity.

LORY be to God on high,

GL

Who hath brought the guilty nigh,

Through the true atoning blood

Of the precious Lamb of God.

2 Glory be to Christ on high,
Who for sinners came to die,
All Jehovah's wrath endured,
Life to guilty men secured.

3 Now the law's demands are paid,
All its precepts Christ obey'd :
Glory to redeeming grace
Shining in Immanuel's face.

4 Glory to the sacred Three,
Who are One, and all agree
In their record of the Son,
Shewing that the work is done.

Your tuneful voices high;

Let every creature sing

His attributes and name!
