HYMN 77.
[VVe many things are yet to learn]
Luk. 12. 12. The holy Spirit shall teach you, &c.
[The First Part.]
VVe many things are yet to learn,
Lord, we instructions need;
We fain would all thy Truths discern,
And from all doubts be freed.
Lord, we instructions need;
We fain would all thy Truths discern,
And from all doubts be freed.
Some things be dark, and hidden are
That we can't understand,
And therefore, Lord, to make them clear
By a most skilful hand
That we can't understand,
And therefore, Lord, to make them clear
By a most skilful hand
Thy Spirit hast ordain'd to be
A Teacher unto us,
All praise and glory unto thee
For dealing with us thus.
A Teacher unto us,
All praise and glory unto thee
For dealing with us thus.
He has all knowledge of thy Laws,
And opens ev'ry thing,
And can discover ev'ry flaw
That up may seem to spring
And opens ev'ry thing,
187
That up may seem to spring
VVithin our minds about the way
VVherein we ought to go;
Out of a Book he teaches us
The meaning he does show.
VVherein we ought to go;
Out of a Book he teaches us
The meaning he does show.
He did himself this Book compile,
'Twas he who gave it out,
And therefore can it open well,
And Answer ev'ry doubt
'Twas he who gave it out,
And therefore can it open well,
And Answer ev'ry doubt
Unto the ignorant and blind,
If they his counsel take,
God's Kingdom they at last shall find,
And them he'll perfect make.
If they his counsel take,
God's Kingdom they at last shall find,
And them he'll perfect make.
The Second Part.
He doth not teach to go astray
From thy own written VVord,
That's not thy Spirit, nor the way,
VVhich doth not just accord
From thy own written VVord,
That's not thy Spirit, nor the way,
VVhich doth not just accord
In every thing we sure are
VVith thy New Testament,
Lord, all such Spirits we'll not hear,
By thee they were not sent;
VVith thy New Testament,
Lord, all such Spirits we'll not hear,
By thee they were not sent;
Thy VVord it is a sure Rule,
O let thy Spirit come
And witness too't most graciously,
And ev'ry Nail drive home.
O let thy Spirit come
And witness too't most graciously,
And ev'ry Nail drive home.
188
Let all Convictions close abide
Of sin and duty too,
And let us find each promise firm
VVhich unto us doth flow:
Of sin and duty too,
And let us find each promise firm
VVhich unto us doth flow:
And we thy Praises will sing forth,
And never go astray,
VVhen in our Souls thy Spirit doth
Tell us this is the way.
And never go astray,
VVhen in our Souls thy Spirit doth
Tell us this is the way.
