It is the Spirit that quickeneth. -John vi. 63.

mf 226 MIGHTY Quickener, Spirit blest,

Who to life didst wake me,

Wilt Thou not become my Guest,
For Thy dwelling take me?
Evermore in me abide,

To all truth become my Guide,
And for spirits glorified

Meet conpanion make me.

2 Lord, along this earthly way
Thou Thy pilgrim greetest:
To Thy thankful child each day
Thou Thy love repeatest:

Thou dost bid me weep no more,
Thou dost teach my song to soar,
Thou, from Thine exhaustless store,
Giv'st whate'er is meetest.

3 Here, while yet my race I run,
Thou wilt never leave me :
Of my Shield and of my Sun
What can e'er bereave me?
If There, with all the heirs of grace,
Grant me to behold Thy face;
To the bliss of Thine embrace
Evermore receive me. Amen.

4 Holy Spirit, Right Divine!

mf 227 HOLY Spirit, Truth Divine!

Dawn upon this soul of
mine;

Word of God, and inward Light,
Wake my spirit, clear my sight.

2 Holy Spirit, Love Divine!

Glow within this heart of mine;
Kindle every high desire;

Perish self in Thy new fire! f 3 Holy Spirit, Power Divine !

Fill and nerve this will of mine;
By Thee may I strongly live,
Bravely bear, and nobly strive !

Ever in my conscience reign,
Be my Lord, and I shall be

Firmly bound, yet ever free.
mp 5 Holy Spirit, Peace Divine !

Still this restless heart of mine; Speak and calm this tossing sea, Stayed in Thy tranquility.

f 6 Holy Spirit, Joy Divine !

Gladden Thou this heart of mine;
In the desert ways I'll sing;
Spring, O Well, for ever spring.
Amen.

Ye are the temple of God.-1 Cor. iii. 16.

mf 228 HOLY Ghost! dispel our sadness;
Pierce the clouds of nature's night.

Come, Thou source of joy and gladness,
Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light.

Author of our new creation,
Bid us all Thine influence prove;
Make our souls Thy habitation;
Shed abroad the Saviour's love.
Amen.

Thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.-Psa. cxliii. 10.

mf 229 COME, Holy Ghost, in love,

on us from above

Thine own bright ray:
Divinely good Thou art;
Thy sacred gifts impart
To gladden each sad heart:
Oh come to-day!

2 Come, tenderest Friend and best, Our most delightful Guest,

With soothing power: dim Rest, which the weary know:

Shade, 'mid the noontide glow;
Peace, when deep griefs o'erflow:
Cheer us this hour.

3 Come, Light serene and still,
Our inmost bosoms fill,
Dwell in each breast;

We know no dawn but Thine,
Send forth Thy beams divine,
On our dark souls to shine,
And make us blest.

cr 4 Exalt our low desires,
Extinguish passion's fires,

Heal every wound;
Our stubborn spirits bend,
Our icy coldness end,
Our devious steps attend,

While heavenward bound.

f 5 Come, all the faithful bless;
Let all who Christ confess,
His praise employ ;
Give virtue's rich reward,
Victorious death accord,
And, with our glorious Lord,
Eternal joy. Amen.
