THE HOLY SPIRIT.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.
WE pray for the Holy Spirit With never a thought or care How much is involved in asking, How much is meant by that prayer. No sin can live in its presence, Our God's a consuming fire; We ask for the Spirit's cleansing Which may be destruction dire; But not, if we yield completely And part with each idol dear, Laying them all on the altar Without a regret or fear. 'Tis then that the Spirit comforts, 'Tis then when it acts as guide And opens before our vision Green pastures and waters wide. O Spirit, divine and holy, We long for Thy fulness sweet, To change and transform our natures And make us for glory meet. We feel in our souls Thy presence, O strengthen our hearts to claim The birthright by Jesus purchased, And ours by faith in His name.
North Deering, Me.
