[Quicken'd with our immortal Head]

God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but, &c. —i. 7.

Quicken'd with our immortal Head,
Who daily, Lord, ascend with Thee,
Redeem'd from sin, and free indeed,
We taste our glorious liberty:
Saved from the fear of hell and death,
With joy we seek the things above,
And all Thy saints the Spirit breathe
Of power, sobriety, and love.
Power o'er the world, the fiend, and sin
We in Thy gracious Spirit feel,
Full power the victory to win,
And answer all Thy righteous will;
Pure love to God Thy members find,
Pure love to every soul of man,
And in Thy sober spotless mind,
Saviour, our heaven on earth we gain.
