Author: William H. Parker, 1845-1929 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #638 (1961) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, hear us;
Help us while we sing;
Breathe into the music
Of the praise we bring.
2 Holy Spirit, prompt us
When we kneel to pray;
Nearer come and teach us
What we ought to say.
3 Holy Spirit, shine thou
On the book we read;
Gild its holy pages
With the light we need.
4 Holy Spirit, give us
Each a lowly mind;
Make us more like Jesus,
Gentle, pure, and kind.
5 Holy Spirit, keep us
Safe from sins which lie
Hidden by some pleasure
From our youthful eye.
6 Holy Spirit, help us
Daily by thy might,
What is wrong to conquer,
And to choose the right.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Prayers to Scripture: Romans 8:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ERNSTEIN
Holy Spirit, hear us
