Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: NEH1985 #367b (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Tune Title: CHARITY Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, Taught by thee, we covet most Of thy gifts at Pentecost, Holy, heavenly love. 2 Love is kind, and suffers long, Love is meek, and thinks no wrong, Love than death itself more strong; Therefore give us love. 3 Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day; Love will ever with us stay; Therefore give us love. 4 Faith will vanish into sight; Hope be emptied in delight; Love in heaven will shine more bright; Therefore give us love. 5 Faith and hope and love we see Joining hand in hand agree; But the greatest of the three, And the best, is love. 6 From the overshadowing Of thy gold and silver wing Shed on us, who to thee sing, Holy, heavenly love.

Glorious to his native skies; Alleluya! Christ, awhile to mortals given, Alleluya! Enters now the highest heaven! Alleluya! 2 There the glorious triumph waits; Alleluya!, Lift your heads, eternal gates! Alleluya! Christ hath vanquished death and sin; Alleluya! Take the King of glory in. Alleluya! 3 *See! the heaven its Lord receives, Alleluya! Yet he loves the earth he leaves: Alleluya! Though returning to his throne, Alleluya! Still he calls mankind his own. Alleluya! 4 *See! he lifts his hands above; Alleluya! See! he shows the prints of love: Alleluya! Hark! his gracious lips bestow Alleluya! Blessings on his Church below. Alleluya! 5 *Still for us he intercedes; Alleluya! His prevailing death he pleads; Alleluya! Near himself prepares our place, Alleluya! Harbinger of human race. Alleluya! 6 Lord, though parted from our sight, Alleluya! Far above yon azure height, Alleluya! Grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluya! Seeking thee beyond the skies. Alleluya! 7 There we shall with thee remain, Alleluya! Partners of thine endless reign; Alleluya! There thy face unclouded see, Alleluya! Find our heaven of heavens in thee. Alleluya!

Praise to the Holiest in the height

Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Hymnal: NEH1985 #439b (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: CHORUS ANGELORUM Lyrics: 1 PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise, In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways. 2 O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. 3 *O wisest love! that flesh and blood, Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against their foe, Should strive and should prevail; 4 *And that a higher gift than grace Should flesh and blood refine, God's presence and his very self, And essence all-divine. 5 O generous love! that he who smote In Man for man the foe, The double agony in Man For man should undergo; 6 And in the garden secretly, And on the cross on high, Should teach his brethren, and inspire To suffer and to die. 7 Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise, In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways.
