The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley

The Lord to us who now believe
Hath the revealing Spirit given,
That when the Witness we receive,
The Holy Ghost come down from heaven,
We may our Father's goodness know,
Who did on all His Son bestow.

Thou send'st His Spirit into my heart,
Of Christ the Lord to testify,
And conscious that my God Thou art,
I Father, Abba Father, cry;
Assured the' Eternal Life Divine,
And Christ, and all in Christ, is mine.

The things Thy free unbounded love
Hath given our dearly-purchased race
Are, Christ the Saviour from above,
With all His plenitude of grace,
The Gift which every gift implies,
Thy whole of good in earth and skies.

Thy Spirit in my heart explains
The heavenly Gift on me bestow'd,
He shows me what my Lord contains,
The peace and portraiture of God;
The prize for ransom'd sinners won,
The glorious joy, the' immortal crown.
