Where thou dost in glory reign Stoop, in condescending grace, Stoop to the poor heart of man 600 Hymns on the Holy Spirit. 2 For thee our hearts we lift, And wait the heavenly gift : Giver, Lord of life divine, To our dying souls appear, Grant the grace for which we pine, Give thyself, the Comforter. 3 Our ruin'd souls repair, And fix thy mansion there : Claim us for thy constant shrine, All thy glorious self reveal, Life, and power, and love divine, God in us for ever dwell. HYMN 658. 6-J's. The same. 1 T^ATHER, glorify thy Son ; ■*- Answering his all-powerful prayer. Send that Intercessor down, Send that other Comforter, Whom believingly we claim, Whom we ask in Jesu's name. 2 Then by faith we know and feel Him, the Spirit of truth and grace: With us he vouchsafes to dwell, With us while unseen he stays : All our help and good, we own, Freely flows from him alone. 3 Wilt thou not the promise seal, Good and faithful as thou art, Send the Comforter to dwell Every moment in our heart ? Yes, thou must the grace bestow ; Truth hath said it shall be so. HYMN 659. i M. Psalm li. 1 f\ THOU that hear'st when sinners cry, ^-^ Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold me not with angry look, But blot their memory from thy book 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse from sin ; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banish'd from thy sight : Thy saving strength, O Lord, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford ; And let a wretch come near thy throne, To plead the merits of thy Son. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just : Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemn'd to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways ; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace ; I '11 lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God.
