[When Jesus' meanest messenger]

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy, &c. —x. 44.

When Jesus' meanest messenger
To sinners testifies the same,
The Spirit falls on those that hear
Forgiveness preach'd in Jesus' name,
The Holy Ghost the truth reveals,
And pardon on the conscience seals.
As light and heat the solar rays
Mercy accompanies the word,
The doctrine of redeeming grace
Obtain'd through faith in Christ the Lord;
And to confirm our sins forgiven
The Holy Ghost comes down from heaven.
