O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now

493

	1.	O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now
		That gives us life and quickens us,
		With all Thy riches strengthening,
		O how divine and glorious!
	2.	O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now
		That with Thy power liberates;
		And by Thy liberation true
		The law of life now regulates.
	3.	O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now
		That transforms us and saturates,
		And to Thine image true conforms
		And with Thy light illuminates.
	4.	O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now
		Who in my spirit make His home;
		He mingles with my spirit too,
		And both one spirit thus become.
	5.	Lord, teach me how to exercise
		My spirit now to contact Thee,
		That in Thy Spirit I may walk
		And live by Thy reality.
