Thy heart so long hardened, of sin to reprove ;
Resist not the Spirit, nor longer delay ;
God's gracious entreaties may end with to-day.
2 O child of the kingdom, from sin's
service cease ;
Be filled with the Spirit, with comfort and peace.
Oh, grieve not the Spirit------thy Teacher is He-----
That Jesus thy Saviour may glorified be.
3 Denied is the temple, its beauty laid low,
On God's holy altar the embers faint glow
By love yet rekindled, a flame may
be fanned ;
Oh, quench not the Spirit, the Lord is at hand !
