Father of everlasting grace, Thy goodness and thy truth we praise, Thy goodness and thy truth we prove; Thou hast, in honour of thy Son, The gift unspeakable sent down, The Spirit of life, and power, and love. Send us the Spirit of thy Son To make the depths of Godhead known, To make us share the life divine; Send him the sprinkled blood [...]
