Father, on us the Spirit bestow

Verse 1
Father, on us the Spirit bestow,
Thro’ which thine everlasting Son
Offer’d himself for man below,
That we, ev’n we before thy throne
Our souls and bodies may present,
And pay thee all thy grace hath lent.

Verse 2
O let thy Spirit sanctify
Whate’er to thee we now restore,
And make us with thy will comply,
With all our mind and soul and power,
Obey thee as thy saints above
In perfect innocence and love.
