Eternal Spirit, power of truth
1
Eternal Spirit, power of truth,Our contrite hearts inspire;Revive the flame of heavenly love,And feed the pure desire.
2
'Tis thine to soothe the sorrowing mind,With guilt and fear oppressed;'Tis thine to bid the dying live,And give the weary rest.
3
Subdue the power of every sin,Whate'er that sin may be;That we, in singleness of heart,May worship only thee.
4
Then with our spirits witness bearThat we are sons of God,Redeemed from sin, and death, and hell,Through Christ's atoning blood.
5
God, through himself, we then shall know,If thou within us shine;And sound, with all thy saints below,The depths of love divine.
