Hymn 89 - "Blest Spirit of adoption"
Blest Spirit of adoption,
Thy power is with us now,
As we approach the Father
Before His face to bow.
'Tis Thy delight to bring us
To this most blessed place,
Where access to the Father
Is ours, through Christ's own grace.
Most blest is this our portion
Which now, by Thee, we know,
As first of all the fam'lies
In heav'n or earth below:
For in this place of favour
There e'er ascends, by Thee,
Eternal praise and worship
From sons for ever free.
And unto Thee, blest Spirit,
Our praises now we sing,
And, by Thee, to the Father
Our glad response we bring;
For we, in Christ's own nearness
Before the Father's face,
Enjoy the wondrous favour
Of the Beloved's place.
