Hymn 133

Eternal Spirit! we confess And sing the wonders of thy ; Thy power conveys our blessings down From God the Father and the Son.

Enlightened by thine heav'nly ray, Our shades and darkness turn to day; Thine inward teachings make us know Our danger and our refuge too.

Thy power and glory work within, And break the chains of reigning sin; Do our imperious lusts subdue, And form our wretched hearts anew.

The troubled conscience knows thy voice, Thy cheering words awake our joys; Thy words allay the stormy wind, And calm the surges of the mind.
