Eternal Spirit! we confess
And sing the wonders of thy grace;
Thy power conveys our blessings down
From God the Father and the Son.
Enlightened by thine heavenly ray,
Our shades and darkness turn to day;
Thine inward teachings make us know
Our danger and our refuge too.
Thy power and glory work within,
And break the chains of reigning sin;
Do our imperious lusts subdue,
And form our wretched hearts anew.
The troubled conscience knows thy voice,
Thy cheering words awake our joys;
Thy words allay the stormy wind,
And calm the surges of the mind.
Now cause the dead in sin to live,
Fresh life unto the living give;
Make all our sins and fears to cease,
And guide us unto perfect peace.
---Alternative verses---
Thy mighty power doth work within,
And break the chain of reigning sin,
The grace our passions can subdue,
And form each sinner’s heart anew.
