CXV. The praying spirit breathe

1 The praying spirit breathe,
The watching pow'r impart;
From all entanglements beneath,
Call off my peaceful heart.

2 My feeble mind sustain,
By worldly thoughts opprest;
Appear, and bid me turn again,
To my eternal rest.

3 Swift to my rescue come,
Thine own this moment seize;
Gather my wand'ring spirit home,
And keep in perfect peace.

4 Suffer'd no more to rove,
O'er all the earth abroad;
Arrest the pris'ner of thy love,
And shut me up in God.
