150 COME, thou holy Spirit, come;

And from thine eternal home

Shed the ray of light divine;

Come, thou Father of the poor,
Come, thou source of all our store,
Come, within our bosoms shine!

2 Thou of Comforters the best,
Thou the soul's most welcome Guest,
Sweet Refreshment here below!

In our labor rest most sweet,
Grateful shadow from the heat,

Solace in the midst of woe!

8 0 most blessed Light Divine,
Shine within these hearts of thine,
And our inmost being fill;

If thou take thy grace away,
Nothing pure in man will stay-
All our good is turned to ill.

4 Heal our wounds; our strength renew; On our dryness pour thy dew;

Wash the stains of guilt away; Bend the stubborn heart and will, Melt the frozen, warm the chill, Guide the steps that go astray.

5 On the faithful, who adore
And confess thee, evermore
In thy sevenfold gifts descend ⚫
Give them virtue's sure reward,
Give them thy salvation, Lord,
Give them joys that never end.

151 BLESSE

LESSED city, heavenly Salem,
Vision dear of peace and love,
Who of living stones art builded

In the height of heaven above,
And, with angel hosts encircled,

As a bride to earth dost move.
2 From celestial realms descending,
Bridal glory round thee shed,

Meet for him whose love espoused thee,
To thy Lord shalt thou be led ;
All thy streets and all thy bulwarks
Of pure gold are fashioned.

The Doxology.

Glory to thy Royal Bridegroom,

Salem, sing rejoicingly;

He, thy Lord, thy Light, thy Temple,

Dwelleth evermore with thee;

His be blessing and thanksgiving,
Now and to eternity.

152 JERUSALEM, arise,

The heavenly glory view;
The light is come, lift up thine eyes,

All things are now made new.

2 Now ended is the reign

Of error's gloomy night :

The Sun of heaven appears again,
And beams celestial light.

3 Now living waters flow

To cheer the humble soul;
From sea to sea the rivers go,
And bless where'er they roll.

4 Jesus shall rule alone,

The world shall hear his Word;

By one blest name shall he be known,

The universal Lord.
