In me resume thy Dwelling

II. Come, Flow'r of all that's holy, And fill my inward Part With Grace, which drives all Folly And Error from the Heart: Thy Mind restore in me; While I the wond'rous Story Rehearse, without Vain-Glory, Of all my Debt to Thee. III. I was a with'ring Scyon; Thou saw'st; and, griev'd to see, From Death, that grimmest Lion, In Pity set me free, By grafting me in Christ, While into his Oblation, Which purchas'd my Salvation, By Thee I was baptiz'd. IV. By Thee, whose blessed Function Can ne'er enough be priz'd: By Thee, whose holy Unction Anoints me into Christ, And makes me all his own; All his, on whom, together With all his Pow'r, the Father Has all his Glory thrown. V. Thou guid'st the guilty Creature To the blest Mercy-Chair; And giv'st his Lips to utter A Mercy-winning Pray'r, Thy Eloquence prevails To save from Satan's Fingers The most abandon'd Sinners; And never, never fails. VI. Thou art the Source of Pleasure, Which never fades nor cloys: Of dark'ning Grief no Measure Withstands thy bright'ning JOys. How often hast thou giv'n, Thou 'Lightner of all Nations, In thy sweet Visitations, Extatic Tastes of Heav'n! VII. Thou art th' eternal Center Of Love and Unity. Where foul Contentions enter In van we look for Thee, Thou God of Truth and Peace. O! may thy Truth delight us; And thy sweet Peace untie us; And all our Discords cease. VIII.

O, may thy Truth and Graces, Thy Peace upon all Places Descend in plenteous Show'rs. IX. O! heal our sore Distractions: Our growing Rage remove: And drown our restless Factions In Gospel-Truth and Love. Thy mighty Arm make bare For injur'd sinking Nations; And stop the Devastations And Bloody Hands of War. X. Be Angels ever busie To guard the King and Queen. Make their bright Crowns sit easie, And, thro' a lasting Reign, With rising Glories shine. Pour forth thy Grace upon 'em And let thy Blessings on 'em No Bounds on Earth confine. XI. The Minds of all the nation Endue with Faith and Love; And pour on ev'ry Station Thy Blessings from above. All Ranks with Wisdom bless To shun all Wrath and Riot, And seek the common quiet, And common Happiness. XII. Give Strength and Resolution, To fight like Christian Men, 'Gainst Satan's fierce Intrusion, And all his hellish Clan; That gaining always Ground, We rout all Opposition, And in no Sin's Commission One Christian may be found. XIII. Direct our Conversation According to thy Mind; And when this mortal Station At last shall be resign'd: Then grant, thou God of Love! That our whole Life's Profession May end in the Possession Of lasting Bliss above. Used With Tune: [In me resume thy Dwelling]

O Thou sweetest Source of Gladness!

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Holy Ghost Lyrics: I. O Thou sweetest Source of Gladness! Faith and hope and Heav'nly Light, Who, in Joy, as in our Sadness, Dost convince us of thy Might! Holy Spirit, God of Peace, Great Distributer of Grace, Life and Joy of the Creation, Hear, oh hear my Supplication. II. O Thou best of all Donations God can give, or we implore, Having thy sweet Consolations, We need wish for Nothing more. Come, Thou Lord of Love and Pow'r, On my Heart thy Graces show'r: Work in me a new Creation. Make my Heart thy Habitation. III. From that Height that knows no Measure, As a Shwo'r thou dost descend; And bring'st down the richest Treasure Man can wish, or God can send. O! Thou Glory shining down From the Father and the Son, Grant me thy Communication, Which makes All a new Creation. IV. Wise Thou art, know'st all Recesses Of the Earth and spreading Skies: Ev'ry Sand the Shore possesses, Thy omniscient Mind declares. Lord, thou knowest, that I am Quite corrupted, blind and lame. Give me such a wise Behaviour As may please my God and Saviour. V. Holy Lord! who lov'st to visit Souls, of pure and chast Desire, But abhor'st an Heart that's busied With what Flesh and Blood admire: Wash my Soul, O Spring of Grace, Clean from all Unrighteousness; Make me fly what thou refusest, And delight in what thou chusest. VI. Like a Lamb thou art in Nature, Of a meek and tender Mind, Doing Good to ev'ry Creature, Tho' they're still to Sin inclin'd; O forgive, and grant I may Follow my forgiving Way, Love my Foes as my own Lineage, And hate None that bear thy Image. VII. Dearest Lord, I live contented In th' Assurance of thy Love, Which, if not by Sin prevented, Does my highest Comfort prove. Make my soul thy Property; All I have shall be to Thee And thy Glory dedicated Here, and when I am translated. VIII. I renounce what's prejudicial To the Glory of thy Name; counting only beneficial What's from Thee, and from the Lamb: At what Satan can contrive, I will never once connive; But with earnest Opposition, Cross that Author of Perdition. IX. Oh! support my weak Endeavour; Second me on ev'ry Side, Thine assistance, great Reliever! Grant me still; and be my Guide. Mortifie my Selfishness, Turn th' old Will from sinful Ways, And conform it to thy Nature, That my God may love his Creature. X. Be my Guard on each Occasion; When I'm sinking be my Staff; When I die be my Salvation; When I'm buried, be my Grave. And when from the Grave I rise, Take me up above the Skies. Seat me with thy Saints in Glory; There for ever to adore Tree.
