The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns ‎#CCII

CCII. Now may the Spirit's holy Fire

1 Now may the Spirit's holy Fire,
Descending from above,
His waiting Family inspire
With Joy, and Peace, and Love!

2 Thee we the Comforter confess;
Unless thou'rt Present here;
Our Songs of Praise are vain Address,
We utter heartless Pray'r.

3 Wake heav'nly wind, arise and come,
Blow on the drooping Field;
Our Spices then shall breathe perfume,
And Fragrant Incense yield.

4 Touch, with a living Coal, the Lip
That shall proclaim thy Word;
And bid each awfull Hearer keep
Attention to the Lord.

5 Hasten the restitution-Day,
Which now corruption shrouds;
New Heavens, and new Earth display,
With Jesus in the Clouds.
