Hymn for the Day of Pentecost: Another

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1742) · Osborn ed., vol. 2 (1869)

Religion

Father of our dying Lord,
Remember us for good,
O fulfil His faithful word,
And hear His speaking blood;
Give us that for which He prays,
Father, glorify Thy Son;
Show His truth, and power, and grace,
And send THE PROMISE down.

True and faithful Witness Thou,
O Christ, Thy Spirit give:
Hast Thou not received Him now,
That we might now receive?
Art Thou not our living Head?
Life to all Thy limbs impart,
Shed Thy love, Thy Spirit shed,
In every waiting heart.

Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
The gift of Jesus, come:
Glows our heart to find Thee near,
And swells to make Thee room:
Present with us Thee we feel;
Come, O come, and in us be,
With us, in us live and dwell
To all eternity.
