The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5442

5442. O Thou Whose Spirit Witness Bears

1. O Thou whose Spirit witness bears
Within our spirits free,
That we Thy children are and heirs
Of Thine eternity.

2. Here may this simple faith sublime
O’er-arch us like the sky;
Secure below the drift of time
Its firm foundations lie.

3. Our thought o’erflows each written scroll
Our creeds arise and fall;
The life of God within the soul
Lives and outlasts them all.
