We praise Thee for
Thy Spirit, Lord,
The blessed Holy Ghost,
The promised Comforter
from heaven,
Who came at Pentecost.
We praise Thee for
His sovereign grace,
That broke our darkness through;
And wrought within us by Thy word
A birth divinely new.
We praise Thee that
He is the Seal,
Whereby we're marked as Thine,
Until redemption's day shall dawn,
And we in glory shine.
We praise Thee for
the Earnest given,
Of blessings yet in store,
The great inheritance which we
Shall share for evermore.
We praise Thee that
the Unction sent
Abides in us for aye,
To be our Teacher,
Guide and Strength,
Along life's upward way.
We praise Thee for
those ties divine
That bind Thy saints to Thee,
As members of Thy body one ---
The Spirit's unity.
We praise Thee for
the work which He
Hath in our souls begun,
To form in us a transcript here
Of God's beloved Son.
