The Witnessing and Sealing Spirit. Rom. 8. 14, 16

1 Why should the children of a King
  Go mourning all their days?
  Great Comforter! descend and bring
  Some tokens of thy grace.

2 Dost thou not dwell in all the saints,
  And seal them heirs of heaven?
  When wilt thou banish my complaints,
  And show my sins forgiven?

3 Assure my conscience of her part
  In the Redeemer’s blood;
  And bear thy witness with my heart,
  That I am born of God.

4 Thou art the earnest of his love,
  The pledge of joys to come;
  And thy soft wings, celestial Dove,
  Will safe convey me home.
