3 Thou only canst our wills control,
Our wild unruly passions bind ;
Tame the old Adam in our soul,
And make us of one heart and mind.
4 Speak but the reconciling word,
The winds shall cease, the waves subside
We all shall praise our common Lord,
Our Jesus, and him crucified.
5 Giver of peace and unity,
Send down thy mild, pacific Dove :
We all shall then in one agree,
And breathe the spirit of thy love.
6 We all shall think and speak the same
Delightful lesson of thy grace ;
One undivided Christ proclaim,
And jointly glory in thy praise.
7 O let us take a softer mould,
Blended and gather'd into thee ;
Under one Shepherd make one fold,
Where all is love and harmony!
For the Society Praying, 47o
8 Regard thine own eternal prayer,
And send a peaceful answer down ;
To us thy Father's name declare ;
Unite and perfect us in one !
9 So shall the world believe and know,
That God hath sent thee from above,
When thou art seen in us below,
And every soul displays thy love.
HYMN 506. 7's&6's.
John xiv. 16, ±7-
1 T^ATHER of our dying Lord,
*- Remember us for good ;
O fulfil his faithful word,
And hear his speaking blood !
Give us that for which he prays :
Father, glorify thy Son !
Show his truth, and power, and grace,
And send the Promise down.
2 True and faithful Witness, thou,
O Christ, thy Spirit give !
Hast thou not received him now,
That we might now receive ?
Art thou not our living Head ?
Life to all thy limbs impart :
Shed thy love, thy Spirit shed
In every waiting heart.
3 Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
The gift of Jesus, come ;
Glows our heart to find thee near,
And swells to make thee room :
Present with us thee we feel,
Come, O come, and in us be !
With us, in us, live and dwell,
To all eternity-
4/4 For the Society Praying.
HYMN 507. l. m.
1 O AVIOUR of all, to thee we bow,
^ And own thee faithful to thy word ;
We hear thy voice, and open now
Our hearts to entertain our Lord.
2 Come in, come in, thou heavenly Guest,
