LyicsTHE Spirit, O sinner,
In mercy doth move,
Thy heart, so long harden'd,
Of sin to reprove;
Resist not the Spirit,
Nor longer delay;
God's gracious entreaties
May end with to-day.
O child of the kingdom!
From sin-service cease;
Be fill'd with the Spirit,
With comfort and peace.
O grieve not the Spirit!
Thy teacher is He,
That Jesus, Thy Saviour,
May glorified be,
Defil'd is the temple,
Its beauty laid low;
On God's holy altar
The embers faint glow;
By love yet rekindled,
A flame may be fann'd;
O quench not the Spirit!
The Lord is at hand.
