The Sanctifying and Sealing Spirit

Verse 1

Father of everlasting grace, thy goodness and thy truth we praise, thy goodness and thy truth we prove; thou hast, in honor of thy Son, the gift unspeakable sent down, the Spirit of life, and power and love.

Verse 2

Send us the Spirit of thy Son, to make the depths of Godhead known, to make us share the life divine; send him the sprinkled blood to apply, send him our souls to sanctify, and show and seal us ever thine.

Verse 3

So shall we pray, and never cease, so shall we thankfully confess thy wisdom, truth, and power, and love; with joy unspeakable adore, and bless and praise thee evermore, and serve thee as thy hosts above:

Verse 4

Till, added to that heavenly choir, we raise our songs of triumph higher, and praise thee in a bolder strain, out-soar the first-born seraph’s flight, and sing, with all our friends in light, thy everlasting love to man.
