Granted Is the Savior’s Prayer

Granted is the Sav­ior’s pray­er

Sent the gra­cious Com­fort­er;

Promise of our part­ing Lord

Jesus now to Heav­en re­stored.

Christ

who now gone up on high

Captive leads cap­tiv­ity;

While His foes from Him re­ceive

Grace

that God with man may live.

God

the ev­er­last­ing God

Makes with mor­tals His ab­ode;

Whom the heav­ens can­not con­tain

He vouch­safes to dwell in man.

Never will He thence de­part

Inmate of a hum­ble heart

Carrying on His work with­in

Striving till He casts out sin.

There He helps our fee­ble moans

Deepens our im­per­fect groans

Intercedes in si­lence there

Sighs the un­ut­ter­able pray­er.

Come

di­vine and peace­ful Guest

Enter our de­vot­ed breast;

Life di­vine in us re­new

Thou the Gift

the Giv­er

too!
