Text: | Holy Spirit, Ever Dwelling |
Author: | Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 |
Tune: | IN BABILONE |
1 Holy Spirit, ever dwelling
In the holiest realms of light;
Holy Spirit, ever brooding
O'er a world of gloom and night;
Holy Spirit, ever raising
Sons of earth to thrones on high;
Living life-imparting Spirit,
Thee we praise and magnify.
2 Holy Spirit, ever living
As the Church's very life;
Holy Spirit, ever striving
Through her in a ceaseless strife;
Holy Spirit, ever forming
In the Church the mind of Christ;
Thee we praise with endless worship
For thy fruit and gifts unpriced.
3 Holy Spirit, ever working
Through the Church's ministry;
Quickening, strengthening, and absolving,
Setting captive sinners free;
Holy Spirit, ever binding
Age to age and soul to soul,
In a fellowship unending
Thee we worship and extol.
