Hymn 205: Spirit of faith, come down,

Verse 1

Spirit of faith, come down,

Reveal the things of God;

And make us the Godhead known,

And witness with the blood.


Verse 2

Tis thine the blood to apply,

And gives us eyes to see

Who did for every sinner die

Hath surely died for me.


Verse 3

No man can truly say

That Jesus is the Lord,

Unless Thou take the veil away,

And breathe the living word.


Verse 4

Then, only then, we feel,,

Our interest in His blood,

And cry, with joy unspeakable:

Thou art my Lord, my God.


Verse 5

O that the world might know

The all-atoning Lamb!

Spirit of faith, descend, and show

The virtue of His name.


Verse 6

The grace which all may find

The saving power impart;

And testify to all mankind,

And speak in every heart.


Verse 7

Inspire the living faith,

Which whosoe’er receives,

The witness in himself he hath,

And consciously believes.


Verse 8

The faith that conquers all,

And doth the mountain move,

And saves whoe’er on Jesus call,

And perfects them in love.


Charles Wesley.
