Author: T. Cotterill Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #385 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, God of truth,
Our contrite hearts inspire;
Kindle a flame of heavenly love,
And feed the pure desire.
2 ’Tis Thine to soothe the sorrowing mind,
With guilt and fear oppressed;
’Tis Thine to bid the dying live,
And give the weary rest.
3 Subdue the power of every sin,
Whate’er that sin may be,
That we, with singleness of heart,
May worship only Thee.
4 Then with our spirits witness bear,
That we are sons of God,
Redeemed from sin from death and hell,
Through Christ’s atoning blood. Topics: Adoption; Assurance; Blood of Christ; Comfort; Communion Service; Hell; Holiness of Christians; Holy Spirit; Illumination; Love for God; Peace and Rest; Redemption; Regeneration; Sanctification; Spiritual Life; Truth Languages: English Tune Title: SARAH
