Come, thou Prophet of the Lord

Verse 1
Come, thou Prophet of the Lord,
Mighty both in deed and word,
Prophet by thy Father seal’d,
With his hallowing Spirit fill’d,
Sent, anointed to proclaim
His unutterable name,
Come, Divine Interpreter,
All his will to man declare.

Verse 2
Visible thro’ faith, I know,
God thou dost to sinners show;
Show us in thy Spirit’s light
How to worship Him aright;
By the unction of thy grace
Lead us into all thy ways:
All our unbelief remove,
Teach us every thing in love.
