The Operations of the Holy Spirit

Verse 1

Eternal Spirit! we confess And sing the wonders of Thy grace; Thy power conveys our blessings down From God the Father and the Son.

Verse 2

Enlightened by Thy heavenly ray, Our shades and darkness turn to day; Thine inward teachings make us know Our danger and our refuge too.

Verse 3

Thy glorious power works within, And breaks the chains of reigning sin. Doth our imperious lusts subdue, And forms our wretched hearts anew.

Verse 4

The troubled conscience knows Thy voice, Thy cheering words awake our joys; Thy words allay the stormy wind, And calm the surges of the mind.

Verse 5

Amen.
