Author: John Cosin; Rhabanus Maurus, 8th-9th cent Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #651 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Refrain First Line: Praise to thy eternal merit Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, and lighten with celestial fire; thou the anointing Spirit art, who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart. 2 Thy blessed unction from above is comfort, life, and fire of love; enable with perpetual light the dullness of our blinded sight. 3 Anoint and cheer our soiled face with the abundance of thy grace; keep far our foes; give peace at home; where thou art guide, no ill can come. 4 Teach us to know the Father, Son, and thee, of both, to be but One; that through the ages all along this, this may be our endless song: Refrain after last stanza: Praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Come Holy Spirit, God and Lord!

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #7 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord! Be all Thy graces now outpoured On the believer's mind and soul, To strengthen, save, and make us whole. 2 Lord, by the brightness of Thy light, Thou in the faith dost men unite Of every land and every tongue: This to Thy praise, O Lord, be sung. 3 Thou Strong Defence, Thou holy Light, Teach us to know our God aright, And call Him Father from the heart: The Word of life and truth impart, 4 That we may not love doctrines strange, Nor e'er to other teachers range, But Jesus for our Master own, And put our trust in Him alone. 5 Thou Sacred Ardor, Comfort sweet, Help us to wait with ready feet And willing heart at Thy command, Nor trial fright us from Thy band. 6 Lord, may Thy power prepare each heart, To our weak nature strength impart, That as good warriors we may force, Thro' life and death, to Thee our course!

On Jordan's banks the Herald's cry

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #8 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Herald's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh: Come then and hearken; for he brings Glad tidings from the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be ev'ry breast from sin! Make straight the way for God within, And let us all our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 For Thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without Thy grace our life must fade, And wither like a flower decayed. 4 To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand, And bid the fallen sinner stand; Once more upon Thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. 5 To Him who left the throne of heaven To save mankind, all praise be given: Like praise be to the Father done, And Holy Spirit, Three in One.

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #9 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise; He justly claims a song from me, His loving-kindness, oh, how free! 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate, His loving-kindness, oh, how great! 3 Though num'rous hosts of mighty foes, Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along, His loving-kindness, oh, how strong! 4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood, His loving-kindness, oh, how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart; But, though I have Him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal pow'rs must fail; O may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death. 7 Then let me mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day; And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

O Spirit of the living God

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #10 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where’er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our fallen race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling Word; Give power and unction from above, Where’er the joyful sound is heard. 3 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare A sinful world her God to meet; Breathe Thou abroad like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 4 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record: The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 5 God from eternity hath willed, All flesh shall His salvation see; So be the Father's love fulfilled, The Saviour's sufferings crowned thro' Thee.

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #11 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O faithful God, thanks be to Thee, That Thou forgiv'st iniquity, And helpest me in sin's distress, And dost my soul and body bless. 2 By servant Thine Thou say'st to me: "My child, thy sin's forgiven thee! Depart in peace, and sin no more, And e'er my pard'ning grace adore." 3 Yea, Lord, we bless the wondrous grace That granteth us this joyful peace; It is through Jesus' precious blood That we enjoy the heavenly good. 4 Now, Lord, us all Thy Spirit give, Help us in holiness to live; Preserve to us, till life is spent, Thy Holy Word and Sacrament.
