\nWhere is that spirit, Lord, which dwelt
\nIn Abram’s breast, and sealed Him Thine?
\nWhich made Paul’s heart with sorrow melt,
\nAnd glow with energy divine?<\/p>\n

\nThat spirit which from age to age
\nProclaimed Thy love, and taught Thy ways?
\nBrightened Isaiah’s vivid page,
\nAnd breathed in David’s hallowed lays?<\/p>\n

\nIs not Thy grace as mighty now
\nAs when Elijah felt its power?
\nWhen glory beamed from Moses’ brow,
\nOr Job endured the trying hour?<\/p>\n

\nRemember, Lord, the ancient days;
\nRenew Thy work, Thy grace restore;
\nAnd while to Thee our hearts we raise,
\nOn us Thy Holy Spirit pour.<\/p>\n
