The Gift of the Son

Verse 1

Father of our dying Lord, Remember us for good; Oh, fulfill his faithful word, And hear his speaking blood. Give us that for which he prays: Father, glorify thy Son; Show his truth, and power, and grace, And send the promise down.

Verse 2

True and faithful Witness, thou, O Christ, the Spirit give; Hast thou not received him now, That we might now receive? Art thou not the living Head? Life to all thy limbs impart; Shed thy love, thy Spirit shed, In every waiting heart.

Verse 3

Holy Ghost, the Comforter, The gift of Jesus, come; Glow our hearts to find thee near, And swell to make thee room; Present with us thee we feel; Come, oh, come, and in us be; With us, in us, live and dwell, To all eternity.
