1 YOME, O thou all-victorious Lord, The power to us make known;

Strike with the hammer of thy word,
And break these hearts of stone.

2 O that we all might now begin
Our foolishness to mourn;
And turn at once from every sin,
And to our Saviour turn.

3 Give us ourselves, and thee to know,
In this our gracious day:
Repentance unto life bestow,
And take our sins

away.

4 Conclude us first in unbelief,
And freely then release;
Fill every soul with sacred grief,
And then with sacred peace.

5 Impoverish, Lord, and then relieve,
And then enrich the poor;
The knowledge of our sickness give;
The knowledge of our cure.

6 That blessed sense of guilt impart,
And then remove the load;
Trouble, and wash the troubled heart
In the atoning Blood.

7 Our desperate state through sin declare, And speak our sins forgiven;

By perfect holiness prepare,

And take us up to heaven. W.

PIRIT of Faith, come down,
Reveal the things of God;

1

And make to us the Godhead known
And witness with the blood:

2. 'Tis thine the blood t'apply,
And give us eyes to see;
Who did for every sinner die,
Hath surely died for me.
3 No man can truly say

That Jesus is the Lord;
Unless thou take the vail away,
And breathe the living word:
4 Then, only then, we feel
Our interest in his blood;
And cry, with joy unspeakable,
"Thou art my Lord, my God!"
5 O that the world might know
The all-atoning Lamb!
Spirit of faith, descend, and show
The virtue of his Name.

6 The grace which all may find,
The saving power impart;
And testify to all mankind,
And speak to every heart!
7 Inspire the living faith,
Which, whosoe'er receives,
The witness in himself he hath,
And consciously believes:
8 The faith that conquers all,

And doth the mountain move;
And saves, whoe'er on Jesus call,
And perfects them in love.

W.

PIRIT of holiness and love,
Thy light and truth impart;

1

The bar of unbelief remove,
And enter every heart.

2 Shower down thy blessings from on high, And write thy law within;

1

The blood of sprinkling now apply,
And make an end of sin.

W. S.

YOME Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire
Let us thine influence prove;

Source of the old prophetic fire,

Fountain of Life and Love.

2 Come, Holy Ghost, (for mov'd by thee,
The prophets wrote and spoke :)
Unlock the truth, thyself the Key,
Unseal the sacred Book.

3 Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
Brood o'er our nature's night;
On our disorder'd spirits move,
And let there now be light.

4 God, thro' himself, we then shall know, If thou within us shine;

1

And sound, with all thy saints below,
The depths of love divine.

W.

We live, and move, and breathe;
One bright, celestial ray dart down,
And cheer thy sons beneath.

2 While in thy word we search for thee,
(We search with trembling awe!)
Open our eyes, and let us see
The wonders of thy law.

3 Now let our darkness comprehend,
The light that shines so clear!
Now the revealing Spirit send,
And give us ears to hear.

4 Before us make thy goodness pass,
Which here by faith we know;
Let us in Jesus see thy face,

1

And die to all below.

YOME, O thou weary pilgrim's friend,
And bring thy nature in;

Now let the fire from heaven descend,
And burn up every sin.

2 The power of unbelief destroy,

Let faith stretch out her hand; Fill every heart with peace and joy, And bring us safe to land.

W. S. & H. B.

TILL, for thy loving kindness, Lord,

STILL,

I look to find thee in thy word,

Or at thy table meet.

2 Here in thine own appointed ways,
I wait to learn thy will:
Silent I stand before thy face,

And hear thee say, "Be still!"

3"Be still! and know that I am God!" "Tis all I live to know;

To feel the virtue of thy blood,

And spread its praise below! W.

GAIN, O Lord, we're met to pray, And breathe our wishes to thy throne; Remove our doubts and fears away, And make thy great salvation known: Bestow on us thy heavenly grace, And let thy glory fill the place.

[NTO our never-ceasing cries,
Most gracious Lord attend,

W. S.

And send deliverance from the skies,
Thy Holy Spirit send.

2 The powers of darkness overthrow,
On sin and Satan tread;
O Lord, avenge us of our foe,
And bruise the serpent's head.

3 O come, thou all-victorious Lord,
No longer now delay,

But, with thy Spirit's two-edg'd sword,
The crooked serpent slay:

4 Make bare thine arm, and give the blow,
Root out the hellish seed;

O Lord avenge, &c. w. a. by H. B. & W. s.
