HYMN 73.

Eph. 4. 30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, &c.

The holy Spirit grieve do not,
Which God to you doth give,
From whom ye have all that rich grace
By which to God we live.

179

It is the Spirit that renews
The Souls of every one
That are brought home to Jesus Christ,
Whose darkness now is gone.
All light and comfort doth proceed
From his sweet influence;
'Tis dangerous then him to grieve,
You may perceive from hence.
By him you live, by him you walk,
Without his help can't we
Do any good; O therefore now
Let him not grieved be.
But bless the Lord he's not withdrawn,
O sing his praises forth,
And live to him as long as you
Do live upon the Earth.
