Eternal Spirit! 'twas thy breath
The oracles of truth inspired ;
And kings and holy seers of old
With strong prophetic impulse fired.
Filled with thy great almighty power,
Their lips with heavenly science flowed:
Their hands a thousand wonders wrought,
Which bore the signature of God.
With gladsome hearts they spread the news
Of pardon, through a Saviour's blood;
And to a num'rous seeking crowd
Marked out the path to his abode.
The powers of earth and hell in vain
Against the sacred word combine;
Thy providence through every age
Securely guards the work divine.
Thee, its great author, source of light,
Thee, its preserver, we adore;
And humbly ask a ray from thee,
Its hidden wonders to explore.
