Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #XLVII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns First Line: Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay Lyrics: 1 Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay,
Tho' I have done thee such despite,
Cast not a sinner quite away,
Nor take thine everlasting flight;
2 Tho' I have most unfaithful been,
Of all, who e'er thy grace receiv'd,
Ten thousand times thy goodness seen,
Ten thousand times thy goodness griev'd.
3 But O! the chief of sinners spare,
In honour of my great High Priest;
Nor in thy righteous anger swear
I shall not see thy people's rest.
4 If yet thou can'st my sins forgive,
E'en now O Lord, relieve my woes;
Into thy rest of love receive,
And bless me with a calm repose.
