Praying for a Blessing

Sinners, your hearts lift up,
Partakers of your hope!
This the Day of Pentecost; (Acts 2:1)
Ask, and ye shall all receive; (Matt. 7:7;)
Surely now the Holy Ghost, (Luke 11:13)
God to all that ask shall give.

Ye all may freely take (Rev. 22:17)
The grace for Jesu's sake;
He for every man hath died,
He for all hath rose again;
Jesus now is glorified, (Acts 3:13)
Gifts he hath received for men. (Ps. 68:18)

He sends them from the skies
On all his enemies;
By his cross he now hath led
Captive our captivity; (Ps. 68:18)
We shall all be free indeed,
Christ the Son shall make us free. (John 8:32)

Blessings on all he pours,
In never-ceasing showers; (Ezek. 34:26)
All he waters from above,
Offers all his joy and peace,
Settled comfort, perfect love,
Everlasting righteousness.

All may from him receive (John 1:16)
A power to turn and live; (Ezek. 33:11)
Grace for every soul is free,
All may hear th'effectual call;
All the light of life may see,
All may feel he died for all.

Drop down in showers of love, (Isa. 45:8)
Ye heavens, from above!
Righteousness, ye skies, pour down;
Open, earth, and take it in!
Claim the Spirit for your own,
Sinners, and be saved from sin!

Father, behold we claim
The gift in Jesu's name
Him the promised Comforter (John 14:16)
Into all our spirits pour;
Let him fix his mansion here,
Come, and never leave us more!
