"Be filled with the Spirit." Eph. 5: 18.
YOME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers,

C

Kindle a flame of sacred love

In these cold hearts of ours.

2 Look, how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys!
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.

3 In vain we tune our formal songs;
In vain we strive to rise:

Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.

4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers!
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

SPIRI

Acts 2: 1-5.

PIRIT Divine! attend our prayer,
And make our hearts thy home:
Descend with all thy gracious power:
Come, Holy Spirit, come!

2 Come as the light; to us reveal
Our sinfulness and woe;

And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts,
With sacrificial flame;

Let our whole soul an offering be,

To our Redeemer's name.

4 Come as the wind, with rushing sound,
With Pentecostal grace;

And make the great salvation known,
Wide as the human race.

Luke 11: 13.

THOU that hearest prayer!
Attend our humble cry:

And let thy servants share

Thy blessing from on high:
We plead the promise of thy word;
Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord!

2 If earthly parents hear

Their children when they cry;
If they, with love sincere,

Their children's wants supply;
Much more wilt thou thy love display,
And answer when thy children pray.
3 Our heavenly Father, thou:
We, children of thy grace:

Oh, let thy Spirit now

Descend and fill the place!

That all may feel the heavenly flame,
And all unite to praise thy name.

"The earnest of the Spirit." 2 Cor.1: 22.

HY should the children of a King

W Go mourning all their days?

Great Comforter! descend and bring
Some tokens of thy grace.

2 Dost thou not dwell in all thy saints,
And seal them heirs of heaven?
When wilt thou banish my complaints,
And show my sins forgiven?

87.

3 Assure my conscience of her part
In my Redeemer's blood;

And bear thy witness with my heart,
That I am born of God.

4 Thou art the earnest of his love,
The pledge of joys to come;
And thy soft wings, celestial Dove,
Will safe convey me home.

MISS AUBER.

UR blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender last farewell,

A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed
With us on earth to dwell.

2 He came in tongues of living flame
To teach, convince, subdue;
All-powerful as the wind he came,
And ev'n as viewless too.

3 He came sweet influence to impart;
A gracious, willing guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to fix his rest.

4 Spirit of purity and grace!
Our weakness pitying see;

Oh, make our hearts thy dwelling place,
Purer and worthier thee.

"To this man will I look." Is. 66 2.

CHY home is with the humble, Lord!
The simplest are the best;

T

Thy lodging is in child-like hearts;
Thou makest there thy rest.

2 Dear Comforter! eternal Love!
If thou wilt stay with me,
Of lowly thoughts and simple ways
I'll build a house for thee.

3 Who made this beating heart of mine
But thou, my heavenly Guest?
Let no one have it, then, but thee,
And let it be thy rest!

Psalm 133.

PIRIT of peace! celestial Dove!
How excellent thy praise!

No richer gift than Christian love
Thy gracious power displays.

2 Sweet as the dew on herb and flower
That silently distills,

At evening's soft and balmy hour,
On Zion's fruitful hills,-

3 So, with mild influence from above,
Shall promised grace descend,
Till universal peace and love

O'er all the earth extend!

John 16: 8-14.

YOME, Holy Spirit, come!
Let thy bright beams arise:
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.

2 Convince us of our sin;

Then lead to Jesus' blood,
And to our wondering view reveal
The secret love of God.

3 Revive our drooping faith,

Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,

To pour fresh life in every part,
And new-create the whole.

Ezek. 11 19.

NOME, Holy Spirit, come,
With energy divine;

And on this poor benighted soul
With beams of mercy shine.

2 Oh! melt this frozen heart;
This stubborn will subdue;
Each evil passion overcome,
And form me all anew.
