The Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithully translated into English metre ‎#VII

VII. The Offices of the HOLY SPIRIT

1 Eternal Spirit! we confess
And sing the Wonders of thy Grace;
Thy Pow'r conveys our Blessings down
From God the Father and the Son.
Inlighten'd by thine heav'nly Ray,
Our Shades and Darkness turn to Day;
Thine inward Teachings make us know
Our Danger, and our Refuge too.

2 Thy Pow'r and glory work within,
And break the Chains of reigning Sin;
Do our imperious Lusts subdue,
And form our wretched Hearts anew.
The troubled Conscience knows thy Voice,
Thy cheering Words awake our Joys,
Thy Words allay the stormy Wind,
And calm the Surges of the Mind.
