Tune: St Francis Xavier
(\'My God, I love thee, not because\')
1 Thessalonians 5 v.19
*********
Quench not the Spirit, let not fear
Rule your hearts, minds, lives here
So He not suppressed nor repressed
But active, and you blessed
Be yielded to Him, and not damp
Him down as a dimmed lamp
Nor that flow of His oil be blocked
But faculties unlocked
As dove that flies, so inwardly
You find liberty free
Confessing sins, what displeasing
To Him, them to Him bring
And forgiveness and peace there find
Restored and renewed mind
Allow Him to possess you more
With Christ\'s perfect life sure
