194 The day of Pentecost. As on the day of Pentecost, 2 We meet with one accord S. M. And wait the promise of our Lord,— 3 Like mighty rushing wind Move with one impulse every mind; 4 The young, the old, inspire And give us hearts and tongues of fire, To pray, and praise, and love. 5 Spirit of light, explore, And chase our gloom away,With lustre shining more and more, Unto the perfect day. 6 Spirit of truth, be thou In life and death, our guide; O Spirit of adoption, now May we be sanctified. 195 0 L. M. The plenitude of His grace and power. In all thy plenitude of grace, 2 Give tongues of fire, and hearts of love, 3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light; Confusion-order, in thy path; Souls without strength, inspire with might; Till every kindred call him Lord. 196 W Peace, love, purity. L. M. THEN first the Spirit left the throne, He took the semblance of a dove; A symbol chosen to make known His peace, and purity, and love. 2 When next, at Pentecost, he came, He stood confess'd to mortal sight Within the cloven tongue of flame,The type of freedom, guidance, light. 3 Vouchsafe, celestial Dove, thy peace, That we at perfect peace may be; Within our hearts thy love increase,― Within our thoughts, thy purity. 4 O Light divine! direct our feet, Which long in error's paths have trod; Our prison'd souls with freedom greet, Convince of sin, and lead to God. 197 9th P. M. 87, 87. The Source of consolation. H Pierce the clouds of nature's night; With the fulness of thy grace. 3 Author of our new creation, Shed abroad the Saviour's love. 198 P. M. 84, 84. The Source of every good gift. OUR blest Redeemer, ere he breathed His last farewell, A guide,-a Comforter, bequeathed, 2 He comes, his graces to impart; While he can find one humble heart 3 And all the good that we possess, 4 Spirit of purity and grace, Our weakness see; O make our hearts thy dwelling-place, 199 9th P. M. 87, 87, 87, 87. Guide and Comforter. H Ever watchful, ever kind; OLY Spirit! Fount of blessing, Thy celestial aid possessing, Prison'd souls deliv'rance find. 2 Heavenly Guide from paths of error, 200 3d P. M. 4 6s & 2 88. Rejoicing in the fulfilment of the promise. INNERS, lift up your hearts, Jesus himself imparts,— He comes in man to live: 2 Jesus is glorified, And gives the Comforter, His Spirit, to reside In all his members here; The Holy Ghost to man is given; 3 To make an end of sin, Peace, righteousness, and joy: The Holy Ghost to man is given; 4 From heaven he shall once more And all his saints restore To joys that never end: Then, then, when all our joys are given, Rejoice in God, rejoice in heaven. 201 13th P. M. 10, 10, 11, Z A Rejoicing in the freeness of the gift. LL glory and praise to Jesus our Lord, So plenteous in grace, so true to his word; 2 The truth of our God we boldly assert; 3 His witness within, by faith we receive, 4 The peace and the power, ye sinners, embrace, Forever and ever within us to live. 202 His universal diffusion. ON all the earth thy Spirit shower; L. M. The earth in righteousness renew; 2 Like mighty winds, or torrents fierce, That faith and love may make all one. Descend, and crown us now with fire. |
