From Hymns on the Lord's Supper (1745) · Osborn ed., vol. 3 (1869)

Religion

Father, the grace we claim,
The double grace, bestow'd
On all who trust in Him that came
By water and by blood.
Jesu, the blood apply,
The righteousness bring in,
Us by Thy dying justify,
And wash out all our sin.
Spirit of faith, come down,
Thy seal with power set to,
The banquet by Thy presence crown,
And prove the record true:
Pardon and grace impart;
Come quickly from above,
And witness now in every heart
That God is perfect love.
