Jesus, Lord, in pity hear us, O return, while we mourn, By thy Spirit chear us. Page 5 Swallow'd up in sin and sadness O relieve us that grieve, Turn our grief to gladness. Send the Comforter to raise us, Let us see God in thee Merciful and gracious. Him the purchase of thy passion O impart, cleanse our heart By his inspiration. By the earnest of thy Spirit Let us know heaven below, Heaven above inherit. Perfect when we walk before thee, Fill'd with love then remove To our thrones of glory. Hymn III. Eternal Spirit, come Into thy meanest home, From thine high and holy place Where thou dost in glory reign, Stoop in condescending grace, Stoop to the poor heart of man. For thee our hearts we lift And wait the heavenly gift: Giver, Lord of life divine, To our dying souls appear, Grant the grace for which we pine, Give thyself the Comforter. No gift or comfort we Would have distinct from thee, Spirit, principle of grace, Sum of our desires thou art, Fill us with thy holiness, Breathe thyself into our heart. Page 6 Our ruin'd souls repair, And fix thy mansion there, Claim us for thy constant shrine, All thy glorious self reveal, Life, and power, and love divine, God in us forever dwell. Hymn IV. Sinners, lift up your hearts, THE PROMISE to receive! Jesus himself imparts, He comes in man to live; The Holy Ghost to man is given; Rejoice in God sent down from heaven. Jesus is glorified, And gives the Comforter, His Spirit to reside In all his members here: The Holy Ghost to man is given; Rejoice in God sent down from heaven. To make an end of sin, And Satan's works destroy, He brings his kingdom in, Peace, righteousness, and joy, The Holy Ghost to man is given; Rejoice in God sent down from heaven. The cleansing blood t' apply, The heavenly life display, And wholly sanctify, And seal us to that day, The Holy Ghost to man is given; Rejoice in God sent down from heaven. Sent down to make us meet To see his glorious face, And grant us each a seat In that thrice happy place, Page 7 The Holy Ghost to man is given, Rejoice in God sent down from heaven.
