Stronger than death and hell, The mystic power we prove ; And, conquerors of the world, we dwell In heaven, who dwell in Love. 4 Wre by his Spirit prove And know the things of God, The things which freely of his love He hath on us bestow'd : His Spirit to us he gave, And dwells in us, we know : The witness in ourselves we have, And all its fruits we show. 5 The meek and lowly heart That in our Saviour was, To us his Spirit doth impart, And signs us with his cross : Our nature 's turn'd, our mind Transform'd in all its powers ; And both the Witnesses are join'd, The Spirit of God with ours. 6 Wrhate'er our pardoning Lord Commands, we gladly do ; And, guided by his sacred Word, We all his steps pursue : Describing Inward Religion. «7 His glory our design, We live our God to please ; And rise, with filial fear divine, To perfect holiness.
