Eternal Spirit We Confess { Eternal Spirit We Confess WIMBORNE-John Whitaker LUTON-Rev. George Burder Eternal Spirit, We Confess } Eternal Spirit, we confess And sing the wonders of Thy grace; Thy pow'r conveys our blessings down, From God the Father, and Son. Enlightened by Thy heavenly ray, Our shades and darkness turn to day; Thine inward teachings make us know Our danger, and our refuge too. Thy power and glory work within, And break the chains of reigning sin; Do our imperious lusts subdue, And form our wretched hearts anew. The troubled conscience knows Thy voice, Thy cheering words awake our joys; Thy words allay the stormy wind, And calm the surges of the mind.
