The heart is shut, and barr'd by sin,
The Spirit knocks and enters in.
The heart's insensible and cold,
The Spirit rouses it, we're told.
The heart's indifferent, we find,
The Spirit impresses heart and mind.
The heart's averse to all that's good,
The Spirit inclines to think of God.
The heart's neglected, poor, and sad,
The spirit notices it, tho' bad.

The heart's impure, the thoughts not good,Ezek. xvi. 9.

The Spirit purifies with blood.

The heart is naked, poor, and bad,
The Spirit clothes and makes it glad.
The heart is weak, and cannot move,
The Spirit strengthens it in love.
The heart's expos'd to many foes,
The Spirit guards where'er it goes.
The heart is wounded deep within,
The Spirit heals and pardons sin.
The heart is bound in misery,
The Spirit comes and sets it free.
The heart mourns under Satan's yoke,
The Spirit comforts it with hope.

The heart is poor, lost all that's good,
The Spirit enriches it with God.
The heart is starv'd, on husks it fed,
The Spirit gives it living bread.
The heart is thirsty, faint and dry,
The Spirit water doth supply.

The heart's perplex'd by day and night,
The Spirit leads and guides aright.
The heart in trouble tries to pray,
The Spirit teaches what to say.
