Eternal Spirit, power of truth
1Eternal Spirit, power of truth,
Our contrite hearts inspire;
Revive the flame of heav'nly love,
And feed the pure desire.
2'Tis thine to bid the sorrowing mind,
With guilt and fear oppressed;
'Tis thine to bid the dying live,
And give the weary rest.
3Subdue the power of every sin,
Whate'er that sin may be;
That we, in singleness of heart,
May worship only thee.
