Text:Pleading the Spirit's aid

XLIX. Pleading the Spirit's aid

1 Come, Holy Ghost, inspire my song
With thy immortal flame.
And teach my heart, and teach my tongue
The Saviour's lovely name.

2 The Saviour! O what endless charms
Dwell in the blissful sound!
Its influence ev'ry fear disarms,
And spreads sweet comfort round.

3 Here, pardon, life, and joys divine
In rich effusion flow,
For guilty rebels lost in sin,
And doom'd to endless woe.

4 O the rich depths of love divine!
O bliss, a boundless store!
Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine,
I cannot wish for more.
