HYMN 73. Grieve not the Spirit.
Eph. 4.30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, &c.
1 The holy Spirit grieve do not, Which God to you doth give, From whom ye have all that rich grace By which to God we live.
1 THe holy Spirit grieve do not, Which God to you doth give, From whom ye have all that rich grace By which to God we live.
2 It is the Spirit that renews The Souls of every one That are brought home to Jesus Christ, Whose darkness now is gone.
3 All light and comfort doth proceed From his sweet influence; 'Tis dangerous then him to grieve, You may perceive from hence.
