5 His love within us shed abroad,

Life's ever-springing well;

Till God in us, and we in God,
In love eternal dwell.

"He hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear.” Acts ii. 33. C. M.

1 LET songs of praises fill the sky!
Christ, our ascended Lord,

Sends down His Spirit from on high,
According to His word.

2 The Spirit, by His heavenly breath,
New life creates within:

He quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin.

3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes,
And to our hearts reveals:

Our bodies He His temple makes,
And our redemption seals.

4 Come, Holy Spirit, from above,
With Thy celestial fire:

Come, and with flames of zeal and love
Our hearts and tongues inspire.

97.

"He will guide you into all truth." John xvi. 13, L. M.

1 SPIRIT of life, Thine influence shed,
To wake the careless and the dead;
Light, strength, and comfort to bestow
On every child of sin and wo.

2 Behold our frail and feeble state.

Our foes are strong, our dangers great: The force of hostile rage withstand, And guard us with Thy mighty hand. 3 Give us an understanding mind; The chains of ignorance unbind ; Instruct, enlighten, and prepare Our hearts the joys of heaven to share. 4 Christ's precious truths to us proclaim: Expound His word, exalt His name: Make known His power, His love reveal, And with His blood our conscience heal. 5 Lord, in our hearts vouchsafe to dwell; There every sinful motion quell. Complete Thy blessed work of grace, And fit us for a happier place.

"Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear." Rom. viii. 15. C. M.

1 SPIRIT of holiness, look down,

Our fainting hearts to cheer;
And when we tremble at Thy frown,
Oh, bring Thy comforts near.

2 The terror Thy convictions wrought,
Oh, let Thy grace remove;
And may the souls which Thou hast taught
To weep, now learn to love.

3 Now let Thy saving mercy heal

The wounds it made before:
Now on our hearts impress Thy seal,
That we may doubt no more.

4 Complete the work Thou hast begun,
And make our darkness light;
That we a glorious race may run,
Till faith be lost in sight.

5 Then, as our wondering eyes discern,
The Lord's unclouded face,
In fitter language we shall learn
To sing triumphant grace.

99.

"He will reprove the world of sin." John xvi. 8.

C. M.

1 ETERNAL Spirit, by whose power Are burst the bands of death,

On our cold hearts Thy blessings shower;
Revive them with Thy breath.

2 'Tis Thine to point the heavenly way,
Each rising fear control,

And with a warm, enlivening ray
To melt the icy soul.

3 'Tis Thine to cheer us when distressed, To raise us when we fall;

To calm the doubting, troubled breast,
And aid when sinners call.

4 "Tis Thine to bring God's sacred word,
And write it on our heart;
There its reviving truths record,
And there its peace impart.

5 Almighty Spirit, visit thus

Our hearts, and guide our ways:
Pour down Thy quickening grace on us,
And tune our lips to praise.

"The Spirit of wisdom and revelation." Eph. i. 17.

S. M.

1 COME, Holy Spirit, come,
Let Thy bright beams arise.
Dispel all sorrow from our minds,
All darkness from our eyes.

2 Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus' blood;
And to our wondering view reveal
The secret love of God.

3 Revive our drooping faith;

Our doubts and fears remove;
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

4 'Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,

To pour fresh life through every part,
And new-create the whole.

1 HOLY Ghost! dispel our sadness: Pierce the clouds of Nature's night. Come, Thou Source of joy and gladness! Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light.

2 Author of our new creation!

Bid us all Thine influence prove. Make our souls Thy habitation: Shed abroad the Saviour's love.

To make the Saviour room.
Now let us find redemption near:
Let faith by hearing come.

1 WHILE all the angel-throng
Give thanks to God on high;
Let earth repeat the joyful song,
And echo to the sky.

2 Father, in whom we live,

In whom we are and move,
The glory, power, and praise receive
Of Thine eternal love.

3 Incarnate Deity!

Let all the ransomed race

Render in thanks their lives to Thee,
For Thy redeeming grace.

4 Spirit of holiness!

Let all Thy saints adore
Thy sacred energy, and bless
Thy heart-renewing power.
