Hymn

For the Spirit's Influences

Metre 8.7.8.7.4.7

Come, thou soul-transforming Spirit,

Bless the sower and the seed;

Let each heart thy grace inherit;

Raise the weak, the hungry feed!

From the gospel

Now supply thy people's need.

Oh, may all enjoy the blessing

Which thy word's designed to give;

Let us all, thy love possessing,

Joyfully the truth receive;

And for ever

To thy praise and glory live.
