Hymn 364

The spirit O sinner in mercy doth move

Meter: 11.11.11.11.

Scripture: I Thess. 5:19

1

The spirit O sinner in mercy doth move

Thy heart so long hardened of sin to reprove

Resist not the spirit nor longer delay

God’s gracious entreaties may end with today.

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

Defiled is the temple, its beauty laid low

On God's holy altar the embers faint glow

By love yet rekindled, a flame may be fann'd

Oh, quench not the spirit, the Lord is at hand.
