"He that believes on me, The word of truth shall feel, The wilderness a pool shall be, The heath a springing well; Forth from that faithful soul Rivers of life shall flow, And streams of grace eternal roll O're all the earth below." Lord, we with joy embrace (What all may find fulfill'd,) The promise made to all our race, And to BELIEVERS seal'd: Who in thy merit trust, Thy Spirit still receive, And temples of the Holy Ghost, And fill'd with God they live. The Spirit of their God, Doth in the saints abide, He is, he is by thee bestow'd For thou art glorified; Thy blood's unceasing prayer, And strong prevailing plea Hath now obtain'd the Comforter For all mankind, and me. Page 9 Lord, I believe the sure Irrevocable word, And come to thee distrest and poor, To thee my faithful Lord; I come athirst and faint Thy Spirit to receive, Give me the gift for which I pant, Thyself the giver give.
