Verse 1

FATHER of everlasting grace, Thy goodness and Thy truth we praise, Thy goodness and Thy truth we prove; Thou hast, in honour of Thy Son, The gift unspeakable sent down, The Spirit of life, and power, and love.

Verse 2

Send us the Spirit of Thy Son, To make the depths of Godhead known, To make us share the life divine; Send Him the sprinkled blood to apply, Send Him our souls to sanctify And show and seal us ever Thine.

Verse 3

So shall we pray, and never cease, So shall we thankfully confess Thy wisdom, truth, and power, and love; With joy unspeakable adore, And bless and praise Thee evermore, And serve Thee as Thy hosts above:

Verse 4

Till, added to that heavenly choir, We raise our songs of triumph higher, And praise Thee in a bolder strain, Out-soar the first-born seraph’s flight, And sing, with all our friends in light, Thy everlasting love to man.
