Spirit of faith, come down

Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 160 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of faith, come down, Reveal the things of God; And make to us the Godhead known, And witness with the blood; 'Tis thine the blood t'apply, And give us eyes to see That he who did for sinners die, Hath surely died for me. 2 No man can truly say That Jesus is the Lord, Unless thou take the veil away, And breathe the living word: Then, only then we feel Our interest in his blood, And cry, with joy unspeakable, Thou art my Lord, my God! 3 Oh, that the world might know The all-atoning Lamb! Spirit of faith, descend and show The virtue of his Name: The grace which all may find, The saving power impart; And testify to all mankind, And speak in every heart.

'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you; I crucified you. 3 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation, your death of anguish and your bitter passion, for my salvation. 4 Therefore, dear Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you, and will ever praise you, think on your pity and your love unswerving, not my deserving.

It fills the heart with ecstasy, that God, the Son of God, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 He sent no angel to our race of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame himself, and to this lost world came. 3 For us he was baptized, and bore his holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp he knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us to wicked men betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 5 For us he rose from death again, for us he went on high to reign, for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 6 To him whose boundless love has won salvation for us through his Son, to God the Father, glory be both now and through eternity.
