Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #153 (1917) 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 to apply,
And give us eyes to see,
Who did for every sinner 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 O 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.
4 Inspire the living faith,
Which whosoe'er receives,
The witnessin himself he hath,
And consciously believes;
The faith that conquers all,
And doth the mountain move,
And saves whoe'er on Jesus call,
And perfects them in love.
