Person and Power of the Spirit. John 6. 63; 16. 13

1 Holy Ghost, we look to thee;
  Raise the dead; the captive free;
  From the mighty take the prey,
  Teach the weak to watch and pray.

2 Now, dear Lord, the heavens rend;
  Make some haughty rebel bend;
  Life, and light, and truth impart,
  To some careless sinner’s heart.

3 If it be thy holy will,
  Now thy gracious word fulfil;
  Quicken souls, and make them cry,
  “Jesus, save me, or I die.”

4 [Nor thy mourning saints forget;
  Thy sweet unction still repeat;
  Daily lead us unto Christ,
  As our Prophet, King, and Priest.]

5 Thine it is the church to bless,
  And to comfort in distress;
  Trembling, helpless souls to guide,
  Safe to Jesus’ wounded side.

6 Out of self to Jesus lead!
  For and in us intercede;
  Guide us down to death, and there
  Banish all our guilt and fear.

7 There and then support the mind;
  May we be to death resigned;
  And with an immortal song,
  Haste to join the heavenly throng.
