Verse 1
Spirit of faith, come down,
Reveal the things of God,
And make to us the Godhead known
And witness with the blood:
’Tis thine the blood t’ apply,
And give us eyes to see
Who did for every sinner die
Hath surely died for me.
Verse 2
No man can truly say
That Jesus is the Lord,
Unless thou take the veil away,
And breathe the living word:
Then, only then we feel
Our interest in his blood,
And cry with joy unspeakable
Thou art my Lord my God.
Verse 3
I know my Saviour lives,
He lives who died for me,
My inmost soul his voice receives
Who hangs on yonder tree:
Set forth before my eyes
Ev’n now I see him bleed,
And hear his mortal groans and cries
While suffering in my stead.
Verse 4
O that the world might know
My dear atoning Lamb!
Spirit of faith, descend, and shew
The virtue of his name;
The grace which all may find,
The saving power impart,
And testify to all mankind,
And speak in every heart.
Verse 5
Inspire the living faith
(Which whosoe’er receives
The witness in himself he hath,
And consciously believes)
The faith that conquers all,
And doth the mountain move,
And saves whoe’er on Jesus call,
And perfects them in LOVE.
