1 Come, all ye saints of God;
Wide through the earth abroad
Spread Jesus' fame;

Tell what his love has done;
Trust in his name alone;
Shout to his lofty throne,
"Worthy the Lamb!"

2 Hark! how angelic lays

Filled with the Saviour's praise,

Dwell on his name;

Soon like them we 'll be found,
Whene'er the trump shall sound,
While all the heavens resound
"Worthy the Lamb !”

3 To him our hearts we raise, None else shall have our praise; Praise ye his name!

We who have felt his blood,
Sealing our peace with God,
Spread his dear fame abroad,
"Worthy the Lamb!"

4 Hence, gloomy doubts and fears ; Dry up your mournful tears;

Swell the glad theme:
To Christ, our gracious King,
Strike each melodious string;
Join heart and voice to sing,
"Worthy the Lamb!"

1 Now I have found a Friend
Whose love shall never end;
Jesus is mine.

Though earthly joys decrease,
Though human friendships cease,
Now I have lasting peace;
Jesus is mine.

2 Though I grow poor and old,
He will my faith uphold;
Jesus is mine.

He shall my wants supply;
His precious blood is nigh,
Naught can my hope descry;
Jesus is mine.

3 When earth shall pass away,
In the great judgment day,
Jesus is mine.

O what a glorious thing
Then to behold my King,
On tuneful harps to sing,
Jesus is mine.

4 Saviour! thy name I bless;
Thine was the precious grace;

Praise shall be thine.

Spirit of holiness!

Sealing to me this grace,
Thou mad'st my soul embrace
Jesus as mine.

Come, and with flames of

spire.

1 Come, Holy Spirit, from above, With thy celestial fire;

Come, and with flames of zeal and love Our hearts and tongues inspire.

2 The Spirit, by a heavenly breath,
New life creates within;

It quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin.

3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes,
And to our hearts reveals;
Our bodies it a temple makes,
And our redemption seals:

333

1 Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed His tender, last farewell,

A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to ever dwell.

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

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

4 Spirit of purity and grace!

Our weakness pitying see;

O make our hearts thy dwelling-place,
All purified by thee!

334

1 Enthroned on high, almighty Lord, The Holy Ghost send down; Fulfill in us thy faithful word,

And all thy mercies crown.

2 Though on our heads no tongues of fire
Their wondrous powers impart,
Grant, Saviour, what we more desire,-
Thy Spirit in our heart.

3 Spirit of life, and light, and love,
Thy heavenly influence give;
Quicken our souls, our guilt remove,
That we in Christ may live.

4 To our benighted minds reveal
The glories of his grace,

And bring us where no clouds conceal
The brightness of his face.

T. HAWEIS.

1 Spirit divine, attend our prayer;
Now make this place thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious power;
O come, great Spirit, come!

2 Come as, the light; to us reveal
Our sinfulness and woe,
And lead us in the paths of life,
Where all the righteous go.

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

Let every soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's name.

1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove, With light and comfort from above;

Be thou our Guardian, thou our Guide;
O'er all our thoughts and steps preside.

2 To us the light of truth display,

And make us know and choose thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from God may ne'er depart.

3 Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God;
Lead us to Christ, the living way,
Nor let us from his precepts stray.

S. BROWNE.

1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly guest,
And make thy mansion in my breast;
Dispel my doubts, my fears control,
And heal the anguish of my soul.

2 Come, make thy constant dwelling here
Fill me with hope, dispel my fear;
Still let thy presence cheer my heart,
Nor sin compel thee to depart.

3 Thou God of love and peace divine
O make thy light within me shine!
Forgive my sins, my guilt remove,
And send the tokens of thy love.

4 O let a holy flock await,

In crowds, around thy temple gate;
Each pressing on with zeal to be
A living sacrifice to thee!

1 O come, Creator Spirit blest!
Within these souls of thine to rest;
Come, with thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which thou hast made.

2 Come, Holy Spirit, now descend!

Most blessed gift which God can send ;
Thou Fire of love, and Fount of life!
Consume our sins, and calm our strife.
3 With patience firm and purpose high,
The weakness of our flesh supply ;
Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love.

4 Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us thy true peace instead ;
So shall we not, with thee to guide,
Turn from the paths of life aside.

GREGORY THE GREAT.

1 Lord God, our Father, hear,
In this accepted hour;
As on the day of Pentecost,
Grant us the Spirit's power.

2 We meet with one accord,

In our appointed place,
And wait the promise of our Lord,—
The Spirit of all grace.

3 Like mighty rushing wind,

Upon the waves beneath,

Move with one impulse every mind;

One soul, one feeling breathe.

4 On us thy Spirit pour,

And chase our gloom away, With lustre shining more and more Unto the perfect day.

341

1 Come, Holy Spirit, come,

Let thy bright beams arise, Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes.

2 Convince us all of sin,

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

3 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new-create the whole.

Its holiness discern;

Its joyful news of saving grace

By blest experience learn.

For such a bright display,

As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day.
