[God on us His Spirit bestow'd]
We have received...the Spirit which is of God; &c.
—ii. 12.
God on us His Spirit bestow'd,
That we His other gifts may know,
A pardon bought with Jesu's blood,
A taste of glorious bliss below:
The Spirit our conscience certifies
That God to man hath freely given
Wine without money, without price,
Forgiveness, holiness, and heaven.
The Comforter assures our hearts,
Our Father, to His children dear;
Fresh strength continually imparts,
To fight, o'ercome, and persevere.
Our Father gave to Christ alone
Fulness of grace, and heavenly powers,
But hath on us conferr'd His Son,
And Christ, and all in Christ, is ours.
