1 Gracious Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would gracious be,
and with words that help and heal,
would thy life in mine reveal,
and, with actions bold and meek,
would for Christ my Savior speak.

2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would truthful be.
and with wisdom kind and clear,
let thy life in mine appear,
and, with actions lovingly,
mirror Christ's sincerity.

3 Silent Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would silent be,
quiet as the growing blade,
which through earth its way has made,
silently, like morning light,
putting mists and chills to flight.

4 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would mighty be,
mighty so as to prevail
where unaided I would fail,
ever, by a mighty hope,
pressing on and bearing up.

5 Holy Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would holy be;
break from sin and choose the good,
cherish what my Savior would,
and whatever I can be
give to God who gave me thee.
