Our lips address The Spirit's name 1 0 THOU that hearest prayer! Attend our humble cry, And let thy servants share Thy blessing from on high: We plead the promise of thy word, Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord! 2 If earthly parents hear Their children when they cry; Their children's wants supply; Much more wilt thou thy love display, And answer when thy children pray. 3 Our heavenly Father thou, We, children of thy grace,Oh, let thy Spirit now Descend and fill the place; With equal praise, And zeal the same.

G. F. ROOT. 241. Zech. 9: 12. 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin, how deep it stains! And Satan holds our captive minds Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace Sounds from the sacred word: "Ho! ye despairing sinners, come, And trust upon the Lord." 3 My soul obeys th' almighty call, I would believe thy promise, Lord: 4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, Be thou my strength and righteousness, God revealed in the Atonement.
