Hymns on the Trinity, 68

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

t When the Spirit Thou bestow'st,
Our indwelling Comforter,
Temples of the Holy Ghost,
We, O God, Thy temples are:
Full of confidence Divine
Feels our heart its heavenly Guest:
Thou art come into Thy shrine:
Here, O God, for ever rest.

By His residence below
In this weak corporeal frame,
Thee we with Thy Spirit know
Co-essentially the same:
With Thy Son and Spirit one,
Father, bid Thy temples rise,
Shine, when time its course hath run,
Blaze eternal in the skies.
