O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now

1.O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now
Who in our spirit lives;
One spirit have the two become,
Which oneness to us gives.
2.Thy Spirit with our spirit, Lord,
The witness ever bears
That we the Father's children are
And of God's glory heirs.
3.'Tis in our spirit Thee we touch
Thy riches to enjoy,
And as the Spirit Thou dost give
Thyself without alloy.
4.'Tis in our spirit we may walk
And follow Thee always,
While, as the Spirit, Thou dost lead
And light impart each day.
5.In spirit, by Thy Spirit, Lord,
We live and worship Thee;
Thou, in our spirit, thru Thine own
Strengtheneth constantly.
6.In spirit, with Thy Spirit, Lord,
We offer prayer to Thee,
While, as the Spirit, Thou in us
Groanest unutterably.
7.We to our spirit would return
And there would contact Thine;
'Tis in the spirit we may share
Our heritage divine.
8.What oneness, O my Lord, is this-
Two spirits intertwine!
Thy Spirit in our spirit lives,
And ours abides in Thine!
