MHB 277 – GRANTED is the Saviour’s prayer

Methodist-Hymns-277

1:  GRANTED is the Saviour’s prayer,
Sent the gracious Comforter;
Promise of our parting Lord,
Jesus now to heaven restored.

2:  Christ, who now gone up on high
Captive leads captivity;
While His foes from Him receive
Grace that God with man may live.

3:  God, the everlasting God,
Makes with mortals His abode;
Whom the heavens cannot contain,
He vouchsafes to dwell in man.

4:  Never will He thence depart,
Inmate of an humble heart;
Carrying on His work within,n Striving till He casts out sin.

5:  There He  helps our feeble moans,
Deepens our imperfect groans,
Intercedes in silence there,n Sighs the unutterable prayer.

6:  Come, divine and peaceful Guest,
Enter our devoted breast;
Life divine in us renew,
Thou the Gift, and Giver too! Amen.
