ARK, ten thousand harps and voices
Sound the note of praise above;
Jesus reigns and heaven rejoices:
Jesus reigns the God of love.
See He sits on yonder throne!
Jesus rules the world alone;

Hallelujah, amen!

2 Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens All above and gives it worth; Lord of love, thy smile enlightens,

Cheers, and charms thy saints on earth; When we think of love like Thine,

Lord, we own it love divine.

3 King of glory, reign forever,

Thine an everlasting crown; Nothing from Thy love can sever,

Those whom Thou hast made Thine own,

Happy objects of Thy grace,

Chosen to behold Thy face.

4. Saviour, hasten Thine appearing,
Bring, oh! bring, the glorious day,
When the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away:
Then with golden harps we'll sing,
Glory, glory, to our King.

III. THE HOLY SPIRIT.

32.

ORD God, the Holy Ghost,
In the accepted hour,
As on the day of Pentecost,
Descend in all thy power.

S. M.

2 We meet with one accord,
In our appointed place,
And wait the promise of our Lord—
The Spirit of all grace.

3 Like mighty rushing wind,
Upon the waves beneath,

Move with one impulse every mind—
One soul, one feeling breathe.

4 Spirit of life, explore

And chase our gloom away;

With lustre shining more and more,
Unto the perfect day.

5 Spirit of truth, be Thou

In life and death our guide;
O Spirit of adoption! now
May we be sanctified.

MONTGOMERY.

33.

YOME, Holy Spirit, calm my mind,

COME

God;

L. M.

Remove each vain, each worldly thought,
And lead me to thy blest abode.

2 Hast Thou imparted to my soul
A living spark of holy fire?
Oh! kindle now the sacred flame,
Make me to burn with pure desire.

3 A brighter faith and hope impart, And let me now my Saviour see:

Oh! soothe and cheer each burdened heart, And bid my spirit rest in Thee.

COME, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,

And lighten with celestial fire:
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost thy sev'n-fold gifts impart.

2 Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love;
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight.

3 Keep far our foes, give peace at home;
Where thou art guide, no ill can come;
Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee of both to be but one.

4 That through the ages all along
This, this may be our endless song;
Praise to Thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

35.

YOME, Holy Ghost, my soul inspire—
This one great gift impart

What most I need, and most desire,
An humble, holy heart.

2 Bear witness that I'm born again,
My many sins forgiven;
Nor let a gloomy doubt remain
To cloud my hope of heaven.

3 More of myself grant I may know,
From sin's deceit be free,
In all the Christian graces grow,
And live alone to Thee.

36.

YOME, Holy Spirit, come,
With energy divine,

And on this poor benighted soul
With beams of mercy shine.

2 From the celestial hills

Life, light, and joy dispense, And may I daily, hourly feel Thy quick'ning influence.

C. M.

S. M.

3 Melt, melt this frozen heart,
This stubborn will subdue;
Each evil passion overcome,
And form me all anew.

4 Mine will the blessing be;
But Thine shall be the praise;
And unto Thee will I devote
The remnant of my days.

HART,

37.

NOME, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Let us Thy influence prove;
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love.

C. M.

2 Come, Holy Ghost, for, moved by Thee,
The prophets wrote and spoke;
Unlock the truth, Thyself the key
Unseal the sacred book.

3 Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove,
Brood o'er our nature's night;
On our disordered spirits move,
And let there now be light.

4 God, through Himself, we then shall know, If Thou within us shine;

And sound, with all Thy saints below,
The depths of love divine.
