6 The Lord makes bare his arm,. FA Hymn 282. L. M. ATHER, if justly still we claim, And crown with living fire our head! 4. The Spirit of refining fire, Searching the inmost of the mind, To purge all fierce and foul desire, And kindle life more pure and kind. 5 The Spirit of faith in this thy day, To break the power of cancell'd sin ; Tread down its strength, o'erturn its sway, And still the conquest more than win. 6 The Spirit breathe of inward life, Which in our hearts thy law may write ; Then grief expires, and pain and strife; 'Tis pleasure all, and all delight. Hymn 283. L. M. ON all the earth thy spirit shower, The earth in righteousness renew: 2 Like mighty winds or torrents fierce, That faith and love may make all one. 1 Descend and crown us now with fire. C Hymn 284. L. M. YOMFORT, ye ministers of grace, O lift ye up the fallen race, And cheer them by the gospel-word. 2 Go into every nation, go, Speak to their trembling hearts, and cry; Glad tidings unto all we show: Jerusalem, thy God is righ. 3 Hark! in the wilderness a cry, M Prepare your hearts, for God is nigh, And means to make his entrance there! 5 The Lord shall clear his way thro' all: Shall all mankind together view, Hymn 285. L. M. 'H'The King of saints his work surveys, IGH on his everlasting throne Marks the dear souls he calls his own, 2 He rests well pleas'd their toils to see; 3 See where the servants of the Lord, The love of Christ their hearts constrains, They spend their sweat, and blood, and pains To cultivate Emmanuel's lands. 5 Jesus their toil delighted sees, Their industry vouchsafes to crown; He kindly gives the wish'd increase, And sends the promis'd blessing down. 6 The sap of life, the Spirit's powers, He rains incessant from above; He all his gracious fulness showers To perfect their great work of love. 7 O multiply thy sower's seed, And fruit they every hour shall bear : Throughout the world thy gospel spread, Thine everlasting truth declare! 8 We then, in perfect love renew'd, Shall know the greatness of thy power Stand in the temple of our God As pillars, and go out no more. Hymn 286. L. M. DRAW near, O Son of God, draw near, Us with thy flaming eye behold; Still in thy church vouchsafe t' appear, 2 Still hold the stars in thy right hand, The angels of thy church below. 3 Make good their apostolic boast, Their high commission let them prove, Be temples of the Holy Ghost, And fill'd with faith, and hope, and love. 4 Their hearts from things of earth remove, Sprinkle them, Lord, from sin and fear; Fix their affections all above, And lay up all their treasures there. 5 Give them an ear to hear thy word; Thou speakest to the churches now: And let all tongues confess their Lord, Let every knee to Jesus bow.
