The fellowship of the Holy Spirit. HOLY Spirit! into me! To another temple come ! Holy Spirit! forth from me! Spirit that with me dost dwell, Of the bright communion! Peaceful Spirit! hath the soul Where thy voice so sweet doth sound, Of thy mighty music full, Ears to hear the roar around? Cheerful Spirit! where but here Holy Spirit! give not o'er; Leave not, leave not hallowing me,— Me thy temple evermore; Mine thine own Eternity! 101.-C.M.

O HOLY Ghost! thy heavenly dew Thou mak'st the soul with joy to sing, Best gift of God, and man's true friend, The mind of Jesus Christ impart, And consecrate to Thee my heart.

When I lie within my bed, Sweet Spirit! comfort me! When the house doth sigh and weep, And the world is drowned in sleep, Yet mine eyes the watch do keep, Sweet Spirit! comfort me! When the passing bell doth toll, Come to fright a parting soul, Sweet Spirit! comfort me!, When the priest his last hath prayed, And I nod to what is said 'Cause my speech is now decayed,Sweet Spirit! comfòrt me! When the tempter me pursu❜th When the judgment is revealed, Sweet Spirit! comfort me! |
