Blessed Spirit (Puritan Prayer)

Blessèd Spirit of the King, Of grace and love the Author, Work repentance deep within, And bend me at Your altar. Melt my heart with majesty, Then show my ruined self to me; Teach me to more clearly see Your might and will to save me. Here I place without reserve My soul in faith and meekness, Trusting in Christ's power and love To flourish in my weakness. Cause my days on earth to be Through time and through eternity A trophy of His victory, A monument to mercy. Teach me to behold my God, And trust His power to save me, Arms outstretched in constant love, Whose strength will never fail me. Help me to commune with Him, Depend and follow after Him, That through my life His peace will reign, And joy be my companion.
