Verse 35. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and tin.
power of the Highest shall lowthee, therefokk also
thai holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called tin
Son of God.

Why is He call'd, that Man adored,
The Son of the Most High?
The Holy Ghost, the' almighty Lord
Descended from the sky:
The Holy Ghost our God supreme
We hence are bold to own,
For Christ, as Man begot by Him.
Is God's eternal Son.

Come, Thou eternal Spirit of God,
God over all confess'd,
Diffuse Thy heavenly love abroad
In a poor sinner's breast:
Then shall I constantly maintain
That Thou the Highest art,
When Jesus is conceived again
In my believing heart.
