172 Pleyel. 7s. _The Holy Spirit in Conversion._ (383) Gracious Spirit, love divine, Let thy light within me shine; All my guilty fears remove, Fill me full of heaven and love. 2 Speak thy pardoning grace to me, Set the burdened sinner free; Lead me to the Lamb of God, Wash me in his precious blood. 3 Life and peace to me impart! Seal salvation on my heart; Breathe thyself into my breast, Earnest of immortal rest. 4 Let me never from thee stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Fill my soul with joy divine, Keep me, Lord, forever thine. John Stocker, 1776. 173 Zephyr. L.M. _The Descent of the Spirit._ (375) Spirit of pow'r, and truth, and love, Who sitt'st enthroned in light above! Descend, and bear us on thy wings, Far from these low and fleeting things. 2 'Tis thine the wounded soul to heal, 'Tis thine to make the hardened feel; Thine to give light to blinded eyes, And bid the groveling spirit rise. 3 When faith is weak, and courage fails, When grief or doubt our soul assails, Who can, like thee, our spirits cheer? Great Comforter! be ever near. 4 Come, Holy Spirit! like the fire; With burning zeal our souls inspire; Come, like the south-wind, breathing balm, Our joys refresh, our passions calm. 5 Come, like the sun's enlightening beam; Come like the cooling, cleansing stream; With all thy graces present be:-- Spirit of God! we wait for thee. William Lindsay Alexander, 1867. 174 Whitefield. S.M. _The Spirit's Sanctifying Influence._ (378) Come, Holy Spirit, come; Let thy bright beams arise, Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. 2 Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never dying love. 3 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life in ev'ry part, And new create the whole. 4 Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts; Our minds from bondage free. Then shall we know, and praise, and love, The Father, Son, and thee. Joseph Hart, 1759. 175 Fill Me Now. 8s & 7s. _The Fullness of the Spirit._ Hover o'er me, Holy Spirit; Bathe my trembling heart and brow; Fill me with thy hallowed presence, Come, oh, come and fill me now. Cho.--Fill me now, fill me now; Jesus, come, and fill me now; Fill me with thy hallowed presence, Come, oh, come, and fill me now. 2 Thou canst fill me, gracious Spirit, Tho' I cannot tell thee how; But I need thee, greatly need thee, Come, oh, come, and fill me now. 3 I am weakness, full of weakness; At thy sacred feet I bow; Blest, divine, eternal Spirit, Fill with power, and fill me now. 4 Cleanse and comfort, bless and save me; Bathe, oh, bathe my heart and brow; Thou art comforting and saving, Thou art sweetly filling now. E.H. Stokes, D.D. 176 Fill Me Now. 8s & 7s. _Guide and Comforter._
