Granted is the Savior's prayer

Verse 1

Granted is the Savior’s prayer, Sent the gracious Comforter; Promise of our parting Lord, Jesus now to Heaven restored.

Verse 2

Christ, who now gone up on high, Captive leads captivity; While His foes from Him receive Grace, that God with man may live.

Verse 3

God, the everlasting God, Makes with mortals His abode; Whom the heavens cannot contain, He vouchsafes to dwell in man.

Verse 4

Never will He thence depart, Inmate of a humble heart, Carrying on His work within, Striving till He casts out sin.

Verse 5

There He helps our feeble moans, Deepens our imperfect groans, Intercedes in silence there, Sighs the unutterable prayer.

Verse 6

Come, divine and peaceful Guest, Enter our devoted breast; Life divine in us renew, Thou the Gift, the Giver, too!
