[The words we speak, we speak, them not]
It is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
—xiii. 11.
The words we speak, we speak, them not,
The words we speak are God's, not ours,
When before kings and rulers brought,
We meet unmoved the worldly powers,
By unpremeditating grace
Prepared our Maker to confess.
The words we speak are God's, not ours,
When before kings and rulers brought,
We meet unmoved the worldly powers,
By unpremeditating grace
Prepared our Maker to confess.
The Saviour then His promise seals,
The Spirit then doth utterance give,
Our mouth with heavenly wisdom fills;
And lo, our foes the truth receive,
And from the power of Jesus' word
Own the companions of our Lord.
