By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M. Isaiah lxi 1 - 3.
      1 THE Spirit of the Lord our God
      (Spirit of power, and health, and love)
      The Father hath on Christ bestowed,
      And sent him from his throne above;

      2 Prophet, and Priest, and King of peace,
      Anointed to declare his will,
      To minister his pardoning grace,
      And every sin-sick soul to heal.

      3 Sinners, obey the heavenly call;
      Your prison-doors stand open wide;
      Go forth, for he hath ransomed all,
      For every soul of man hath died.

      4 'Tis his the drooping soul to raise,
      To rescue all by sin opprest,
      To clothe them with the robes of praise,
      And give their weary spirits rest;

      5 To help their grovelling unbelief,
      Beauty for ashes to confer,
      The oil of joy for abject grief,
      Triumphant joy for sad despair;

      6 To make them trees of righteousness,
      The planting of the Lord below,
      To spread the honour of his grace,
      And on to full perfection grow.
