Words
⤢ Full screenCome, thou soul-transforming Spirit,Bless the sower and the seed;Let each heart thy grace inherit,Raise the weak, the hungry feed;From the gospelNow supply thy people's need.
O may all enjoy the blessingWhich thy word's designed to give;Let us all, thy love possessing,Joyfully the truth receive,And foreverTo thy praise and glory live.
About this hymn
As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «157», then in italics and brackets «[Tune, Promise, No. 772.]» (sing to the tune PROMISE, hymn 772), then «8s & 7s. 6l.» in bold (= six lines). Two numbered stanzas in the right column of p. 56 below hymn 156, «Jonathan Evans.» in italics at the end. The first word «COME» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «;» («seed ;», «feed ;», «give ;»); it is closed up here. The lines are indented in steps as printed (lines 2 and 4 by one step, line 5 «From the gospel» / «And forever» by two, line 6 by one). In this exemplar an ink blot covers the first letter of «Now» in stanza 1, line 6 (see uncertainties.md). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
