XIII. Hymn to God the Holy Ghost

1 Hail, Holy-Ghost, Jehovah, Third
In order of the Three;
Sprung from the Father and the Word
From all Eternity.

2 The Spirit brooding o'er th' Abyss
Of firmless Waters by,
Spoke into Order all that is,
And Darkness into Day.

3 In deepest Hell or Heavens bright
Thy Presence who cah fly;
Known is the Father to thy Sight
Th' Abyss of Deity.

4 Thy Power thro' Jesus's Life display'd
Quite from the Virgin's Womb,
Dying his Soul an offering made,
And rais'd him from the Tomb.

5 God's Image which our sins destroy
Thy Grace restores below.
And Truth and Holiness and Joy
From thee, their Fountain, flow.

6 Hail, Holy Ghost, Jehovah, third
In order of the three,
Sprung from the Father and the Word
From all Eternity.
