John 1:32: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven, &c

Spotless, meek and holy Lamb,
Why didst Thou the Spirit receive?
From Thy throne on Thee He came.
That Thou might'st to sinners give,
Iight'st communicate to me
The Divine, pacific Dove,
Fill my heart with purity.
Innocence, and faithful love.

Let Him, Lord, my heart inspire,
All Thy gracious mind reveal,
Kindle the baptismal fire.
Now the heir of glory seal;
Let the Comforter come down,
Take possession of my breast,
Make Thy heavenly nature knowri,
On my soul for ever rest.
1628. Upon -whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, c.—. 33.
By this celestial sign
We the Baptizer know,
And all baptized with love Divine
The self-same token show:
On them the Spirit of grace'
Descends, and still abides,
And fills with fruits of righteousness,
And to His glory guides.
