Thy children, all inspir’d by me

Verse 1
Thy children, all inspir’d by me
Full of the Holy-Ghost shall be,
Of glorious joy and perfect peace,
Their souls I will anew create,
And ’stablish in a sinless state,
Thro’ faith’s implanted righteousness:

Verse 2
Then shalt thou fear thy foes no more,
Beyond the dire oppressor’s power,
Beyond the reach of earth and hell:
My word is to the utmost prov’d,
The inbred stumbling-block remov’d,
And sin is quite impossible.
