ETERNAL Spirit! how we bless And sing the wonders of Thy grace: Thy power conveys Thy blessings down From God the Father and the Son. |
|||
2 | Enlightened by Thy heavenly ray, Our spiritual darkness turns to day; Thine inward teachings make us know, Our danger and our refuge too. |
||
3 | Thy power and glory work within, To break the chains of reigning sin, Our dominating lusts subdue, And form our fallen hearts anew. |
||
4 | The troubled conscience knows Thy voice, Thy pardoning words awake our joys, Thy work illuminates the mind, And lets the soul assurance find. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
