- 1Eternal Spirit, we confess
- And sing the wonders of thy grace;
- Thy power conveys our blessings down
- From God the Father and the Son.
- 2Enlightened by thy heavenly ray,
- Our shades and darkness turn to day;
- Thine inward teachings make us know
- Our danger and our refuge too.
- 3Thy power and glory work within,
- And break the chains of reigning sin;
- All our imperious lusts subdue,
- And form our wretched hearts anew.
