HYMN 74. The Spirit a Witness.
Rom. 8.16. The Spirit it self beareth Witness with our Spirit.
1 O Lord we have a blessed grant Of an Inheritance, And so hath every holy Saint; And thy grace to advance,
2 Thou dost to us an Earnest give Of it to make it sure, ⟨p. 180⟩And Sealed 'tis when we believe Unto us too for ever:
3 But that we might by no means doubt To make it firmer yet, A Witness, Lord, thou hast found out, Which thou sawest requisite.
