Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #119 (1958) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, Taught by thee, we covet most Of thy gifts at Pentecost, Holy, heavenly love. 2 Faith that mountains could remove, Tongues of earth or heaven above, Knowledge, all things, empty prove Without heavenly love. 3 Love is kind, and suffers long; Love is meek, and thinks no wrong, Love than death itself more strong; Therefore give us love. 4 Faith and hope and love we see, Joining hand in hand, agree; But the greatest of the three, And the best, is love.

O Holy Spirit, enter in

Where thou shinest, Life from heaven there is given; We before thee For that precious gift implore thee. 2 Left to ourselves we shall but stray, O lead us on the narrow way, With wisest counsel guide us; And give us steadfastness, that we May henceforth truly follow thee, Whatever woes betide us; Heal thou gently Hearts now broken, give some token Thou art near us, Whom we trust to light and cheer us. A-men. 3 O mighty Rock, O Source of life! Let thy dear word, 'mid doubt and strife, Be so within us burning, That we be faithful unto death In thy pure love and holy faith, From thee true wisdom learning. Lord, thy graces On us shower; by thy power Christ confessing, Let us win his grace and blessing. 4 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In purest holiness be passed; Our minds so rule and strengthen That they may rise o'er things of earth, The hopes and joys that here have birth; And if our course thou lengthen, Keep thou pure, Lord, From offences, heart and senses; Blessèd Spirit, Bid us thus true life inherit.
