When Jesus imparts

Verse 1
When Jesus imparts
The truth to our hearts,
And his sayings explains,
Not a shadow of doubt in our spirit remains;
The truth we confess,
The Interpreter bless,
And walk in his sight
And dwell with our Lord in a region of light.

Verse 2
The Omniscient Lord
Thou unfoldest thy word,
And preventing my prayer
Thou art pleas’d thy unsearchable grace to declare:
Thy grace I receive,
And with comfort believe,
And am sure Thou art He
Who from heaven came down, to inhabit in me.
