[Jesus Thy Spirit shows]
The Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, &c.
—xx. 23.
Jesus Thy Spirit shows
That trouble, grief, and pain
Must be the portion of all those
Who would Thy crown obtain;
But we who preach Thy grace,
The outcasts of mankind,
A larger share in every place
Of sharpest sufferings find.
That trouble, grief, and pain
Must be the portion of all those
Who would Thy crown obtain;
But we who preach Thy grace,
The outcasts of mankind,
A larger share in every place
Of sharpest sufferings find.
Warn'd by the Comforter,
And strengthen'd in Thy cause,
We meet, without surprise or fear,
The' inevitable cross:
To' embrace Thy sacred woe
Thou dost our hearts incline;
And lo, we live and die, below
A sacrifice Divine!
And strengthen'd in Thy cause,
We meet, without surprise or fear,
The' inevitable cross:

Thou dost our hearts incline;
And lo, we live and die, below
A sacrifice Divine!
