Thine inward teachings make us know
Our danger, and our refuge too.

mf 3 Thy power and glory work within,
And break 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, mp And calm the surges of the mind.

Prayer for the promised Spirit. NTHRONED on high, almighty Lord! The Holy Ghost send down:

ENTE

Fulfill in us thy faithful word,

And all thy mercies crown.

Their wondrous powers impart,

Grant, Saviour! what we more desire,
Thy Spirit in our heart.

Thy heavenly influence give;
Quicken our souls-born from above,
In Christ that we may live.

The glories of his grace,

And bring us, where no clouds conceal
The brightness of his face.

Nor rites that God has given,

Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.

3 The sovereign will of God alone
Creates us heirs of grace.

Born in the image of his Son,
A new peculiar race.

8 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh;
Creates anew the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.

From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.

Prayer to the Triune Jehovah.

THOU! ! whose almighty word

Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,—
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And, where the gospel's day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
"Let there be light!"

On thy redeeming wing,

Healing and sight,-
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,-
Oh! now to all mankind,
"Let there be light!"

Life-giving holy Dove!
Speed forth thy flight:

Move on the waters' face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And, in earth's darkest place,
"Let there be light!"

Rolling in fullest pride,

To which celestial source, we owe Rivers of endless joy above,

And rills of comfort here below.

2 Glory to thee, great Son of God!
From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood-
Pardon and life for dying souls.
3 We give thee, sacred Spirit! praise,
Who, in our hearts of sin and woe,
Mak'st living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.

And God the Spirit, we adore ;-
That sea of life and love unknown,
Without a bottom, or a shore.

When, their theme of praise the same,
They exalt Jehovah's name!

Such as did the Father move;—

He beheld the world undone,

Loved the world, and gave his Son.
