Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #180 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit! we confess
And sing the wonders of Thy grace:
Thy power conveys our blessings down
From God the Father and the Son.
2 Enlighten'd by Thy heavenly ray,
Our shades and darkness turn to day;
Thine inward teachings make us know
Our danger and our refuge too.
3 Thy glorious power works within,
And breaks the chains of reigning sin,
Do our imperious lusts subdue,
And form our wretched hearts anew.
4 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. Topics: Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Enlightening; Holy Spirit renewing; Light Given by the Holy Spirit; Pentecsot; Praise To the Holy Spirit; Whit-Sunday; Witness of the Spirit Languages: English
