The spirit's influences compared to living water

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Influences and Graces of the Spirit First Line: Bless'd Jesus, source of grace divine Lyrics: 1 Bless'd Jesus, source of grace divine What soul-refreshing streams are thine! O bring these healing waters nigh, Or we must droop, and fall, and die. 2 No traveller thro' desert lands, ’Midst scorching suns, and burning sands, More needs the current to obtain, Or to enjoy refreshing rain. 3 Our longing souls aloud would sing, Spring up, celestial fountain, spring; To a redundant river flow, And cheer this thirsty land below. 4 May this blest torrent near my side, Thro' all the desert gently glide; Then in Immanuel’s land above, Spread to a sea of joy and love!

The influences of the spirit experienced

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Influences and Graces of the Spirit First Line: Dear Lord, and shall thy spirit rest Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, and shall thy spirit rest In such a wretched heart as mine? Unworthy dwelling! glorious guest! Favor astonishing, divine! 2 When sin prevails, and gloomy fear, And hope almost expires in night, Lord, can thy spirit then be here, Great spring of comfort, life, and light? 3 Sure the blest comforter is nigh, 'Tis he sustains my fainting heart; Else would my hopes for ever die, And every cheering ray depart. 4. When some kind promise glads my soul, Do I not find his healing voice The tempest of my fears control, And bid my drooping powers rejoice? 5 Whene'er to call the savior mine, With ardent wish my heart aspires; Can it be less than power divine, Which animates these strong desires? 6 What less than thy almighty word Can raise my heart from earth and dust, And bid me cleave to thee, my Lord, My life, my treasure, and my trust? 7 And when my cheerful hope can say, I love my God, and taste his grace, Lord, is it not thy blissful ray, Which brings this dawn of sacred peace? 8 Let thy kind spirit in my heart For ever dwell, O God of love, And light and heavenly peace impart, Sweet earnest of the joys above.

The holy spirit addressed under darkness

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXIV (1792) Topics: The Influences and Graces of the Spirit First Line: Descend, holy spirit the dove Lyrics: 1 Descend, holy spirit the dove, And visit a sorrowful breast, My burden of guild to remove, And bring me assurance and rest: Thou only hast pow'r to relieve A sinner o'erwhelm'd with his load, The sense of election to give, And sprinkle his heart with the blood. 2 With me, if of old thou hast strove, And kindly withheld me from sin; Resolv'd by the force of thy love, My worthless affections to win; The work of thy mercy revive, Invincible mercy exert, And keep my weak graces alive, And set up thy rest in my heart. 3 If when I have put thee to grief, And madly to folly return'd, Thy goodness hath been my relief, And lifted me up as I mourn'd; Most pitiful spirit of grace, Relieve me again, and restore, MY spirit in holiness raise, To fall and to grieve thee no more. 4 If now I lament after God, And pant for a drop of his love, If Jesus, who pour'd out his blood, Obtain me a mansion above; Come, heavenly comforter come, Sweet witness of mercy divine! And make me thy permanent home, And seal me eternally thine. Languages: English

Divine influences compared to rain

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Influences and Graces of the Spirit First Line: As showers on meadows newly mown Lyrics: 1 As showers on meadows newly mown, Jesus shall shed his blessings down, Crown'd with whose life-infusing drops, Earth shall renew her blissful crops. 2 Lands that beneath a burning sky, Have long been desolate and dry, Th' effusions of his love shall share, And sudden greens and herbage wear. 3 The dews and rains, in all their store, Drenching the pastures o'er and o'er, Are not so copious as that grace, Which sanctifies and saves our race. 4 As in soft silence vernal showers Descend, and cheer the fainting flowers, So in the secrecy of love Falls the sweet influence from above. 5 That heavenly influence let me find In holy silence of the mind, While every grace maintains it bloom, Diffusing wide its rich perfume. 6 Nor let these blessings be confin'd To me, but pour'd on all mankind, 'Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise, And a young Eden bless our eyes. Scripture: Psalm 72:6 Languages: English
