Eternal Spirit! 'twas thy breath

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #1 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit! 'twas thy breath The oracles of truth inspired; And kings and holy seers of old With strong prophetic impulse fir'd. 2 Fill'd with thy great almighty pow'r, Their lips with heavenly science flow'd; Their hands a thousand wonders wrought, Which bore the signature of God. 3 With gladsome hearts they spread the news Of pardon, through a Saviour's blood; And to a num'rous seeking crowd Mark'd out the path to his abode. 4 The pow'rs of earth and hell in vain Against the sacred word combine; Thy providence through ev'ry age Securely guards the work divine. 5 Thee, its great author, source of light, Thee, its preserver, we adore; And humbly ask a ray from thee, Its hidden wonders to explore.
