501, 466, 503. 2 Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens 3 King of glory, reign forever, Thine an everlasting crown; 4 Saviour, hasten thine appearing; Hallelujah! amen." Thomas Kelly. 133 501, 499, 95. 1 PRAISE to thee, O dear Redeemer, Sing of him who came to die. Yet 't were vain to worship thee This I covet, this bestow,- F E. Belden. 134 BELOVED. 11s & 8s. FREEMAN LEWIS. 1. O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in af- fic-tion I call, 2 Ye daughters of Zion, declare, have you 14 His lips, as a fountain of righteousness flow, To water the gardens of grace; From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know, And bask in the smiles of his face. He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for his word; He speaks, and eternity, filled with his voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. Joseph Swain. UNKNOWN. Anon. 136 WARE. L. M. GEORGE KINGSLEY. 1. Come, gracious Spir-it, heavenly Dove, With light and com-fort from a-bove; Be thou our guardian, thou our guide; O'er all our thoughts and steps pre-side. 1 POUR out thy Spirit from on high; Lord, thine assembled servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply, And clothe us all with righteousness. 2 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness, with meekness from above, To bear thy people on our heart, And love the souls whom thou dost love; 3 To watch and pray, and never faint, By day and night strict guard to keep; To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, Nourish thy lambs, and feed thy sheep. 4 Then, when our work is finished here, In humble hope our charge resign: When the chief Shepherd shall appear, O God! may they and we be thine! James Montgomery. 1 COME, blessed Spirit, source of light, Whose power and grace are unconfined, Dispel the gloomy shades of night, The thicker darkness of the mind. 2 To my enlightened eyes display The glorious truth thy words reveal; Cause me to run the heavenly way, Make me delight to do thy will. 3 Thine inward teachings make me know, The wonders of redeeming love, The vanity of things below, And excellence of things above. 4 While through these dubious paths I stray, Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad; Show me the dangers of the way, And guide my feeble steps to God. Benjamin Beddome. 140 2 Where is that spirit, Lord, which dwelt In Abram's breast, and sealed him thine? Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine? 3 That spirit which from age to age Proclaimed thy love, and taught thy ways? Brightened Isaiah's vivid page, And breathed in David's hallowed lays? 4 Is not thy grace as mighty now As when Elijah felt its power? When glory beamed from Moses' brow, Or Job endured the trying hour? 5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days; 3, 64, 51. Wm. H. Bathurst. 141 1 COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly guest, And make thy mansion in my breast; Dispel my doubts, my fears control, And heal the anguish of my soul. 2 Thou God of love and peace divine, O make thy light within me shine! Forgive my sins, my guilt remove, And send the tokens of thy love. 3 Come with thy healing from above, Fill each and every heart with love; O turn to flesh the flinty stone, And let thy sovereign power be known! Philip Doddridge. 1 As when in silence vernal showers Descend and cheer the fainting flowers, So, in the secrecy of love, 1 O BLESSED Comforter, draw nigh! Cheer and sustain my fainting heart; Without thee every hope would die, And every cheering ray depart. 2 Whene'er to call the Saviour mine With ardent wish my heart aspires, Can it be less than power divine That animates these strong desires? 3 And when my cheerful hope can say I love my God and taste his grace, Lord, is it not thy blissful ray That brings this dawn of sacred peace? 4 Let thy good Spirit in my heart Forever dwell, O God of love! And light and heavenly peace impart, Sweet earnest of the joys above. Anne Steele. 27, 74, 147. 2 O raise our thoughts from things below, 4 Then with our spirits witness bear From vanities and toys! Then shall we with fresh courage go 3 Awake our souls to joyful songs; Till praise employs our thankful tongues, 4 Father, we would no longer live At this poor, dying rate, 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, That 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, 1 SPIRIT Divine, attend our prayer, And make our hearts thy home; Descend with all thy gracious power: Come, Holy Spirit, come! 2 Come as the light, to us reveal And lead us in those paths of life 3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts, Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul an offering be To our Redeemer's name. 4 Come as the wind, with rushing sound, With Pentecostal grace; And make the great salvation known, 5 Spirit Divine, attend our prayer, And make our hearts thy home; Descend with all thy gracious power: Come, Holy Spirit, come!
