GRANTED is the Saviour's prayer,

By A Collection of Hymns


      7s.
      1 GRANTED is the Saviour's prayer,
      Sent the gracious Comforter;
      Promise of our parting Lord,
      Jesus now to heaven restored;

      2 Christ, who now gone up on high
      Captive leads captivity;
      While his foes from him receive
      Grace, that God with man may live.

      3 God, the everlasting God,
      Makes with mortals his abode;
      Whom the heavens cannot contain,
      He vouchsafes to dwell in man.

      4 Never will he thence depart,
      Inmate of an humble heart;
      Carrying on his work within,
      Striving till he casts out sin.

      5 There he helps our feeble moans,
      Deepens our imperfect groans,
      Intercedes in silence there,
      Sighs the unutterable prayer.

      6 Come, divine and peaceful guest,
      Enter our devoted breast;
      Life divine in us renew,
      Thou the Gift, and Giver too!
