271. Spirit of faith, come down

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 t'apply,
And give us eyes to see
That he who did for sinners 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 Oh, 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.
