We witness for our Prince

Verse 1
We witness for our Prince
And Saviour in the sky,
Who doth the soul of sin convince,
And freely justify:
At God’s right-hand He dwells
The double grace t’ impart,
He breaks, and then forgiveness seals
On the poor broken heart.

Verse 2
His Spirit too declares
Our Lord inthron’d for this,
Working with all the ministers
Of evangelic peace:
Jesus He testifies
Our true eternal God,
Condemns the world, and then applies
That all-atoning blood.

Verse 3
The Father of our Lord
The holy Ghost hath given
To sinners sav’d, who keep his word
Th’ anointed heirs of heaven:
Who faithfully obey
Their Saviour from above,
And wait his coming in that day,
To crown them with his love.
