SPIRIT OF FAITH

Spirit of faith, come down,

reveal the things of God;

and make to us the Godhead known,

and witness with the blood.

„This thine the blood to apply,

and give us eyes to see

who did for guilty sinners die

hath surely died for me.




No man can truly say

that Jesus is the Lord,

unless Thou take the veil away,

and breathe the living word;

then, only then, we feel

our interest in His blood,

and cry, with joy unspeakable:

Thou art my Lord, my God!




O that the world might know

the all-atoning Lamb!

Spirit of faith, descend, and show

the virtue of His Name;

the grace which all may find,

the saving power impart;

and testify to all mankind,

and speak in every heart.




Inspire the living faith,

which whosoe‟er receives,

the witness in himself he hath,

and consciously believes;

the faith that conquers all,

and doth the mountain move,

and saves whoe‟er on Jesus call,

and perfects them in love
