Hymn 280: Come, Thou everlasting Spirit

Come, Thou everlasting Spirit, Bring to every thankful mind All the Saviour's dying merit, All His sufferings for mankind : True Recorder of His passion, Now the living faith impart ; Now reveal His great salvation Unto every faithful heart.

2. Come, Thou witness of His dying ; Come, Remembrancer Divine ; Let us feel Thy power applying Christ to every soul, and mine ; Let us groan Thine inward groaning ; Look on Him we pierced, and grieve ; All partake the grace atoning----- All the sprinkled blood receive.

3. Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth ; I in Him, and He in me ! And my empty soul He filleth, Here and through eternity. Thus I wait for His returning, Singing ail the way to heaven ; Such the joyous song of morning, Such the banquet song of even.
