[God, who did the Spirit bestow]

And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us. 1 John v. 24.

God, who did the Spirit bestow
That in our hearts resides,
God supreme, hereby we know,
Himself in us abides:
God eternally adored
His Spirit in us is the most high,
Glorious, universal Lord,
That fills both earth and sky.
Who the Holy Ghost receive,
The' indwelling Comforter,
We His Deity believe,
And we alone declare:
When He speaks the promise seal'd
In saints His permanent abode,
With Jehovah's Spirit fill'd,
We all are fill'd with God.
