Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 541 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, come! Let thy bright beams arise; Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. 2 Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love. 3 Convince us of our sin; Then lead to Jesus' blood, And to our wondering view reveal The mercies of our God. 4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life in every part, And new-create the whole. 6 Dwell, therefore, in our hearts; Our minds from bondage free; Then we shall know, and praise, and love, The Father, Son, and Thee.

Meter: 7.8.8.8.8.8.9.9.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, God and Lord! Be all Thy graces now outpoured On each believer's mind and heart; Thy fervent love to them impart. Lord, by the brightness of Thy light Thou in faith dost men unite Of every tongue and every nation; We, therefore, sing with exultation: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 2 Thou holy Light, Guide divine, O cause the Word of life to shine; Teach us to know our God aright, And call Him Father with delight, From error, Lord, our souls defend, That they on Christ alone attend, In Him with living faith abiding, In Him will all their might confiding. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 3 Thou holy Fire, Source of rest, Grant that, with joy and hope possessed, We always in Thy service stay, And trouble drive us not away. Lord, by Thy power prepare each heart To our weak nature strength impart, That firmly here we be contending, Through life and death to Thee ascending. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Topics: Pentecost

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,218 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 See how we grovel here below, Fond of these earthly toys; Our souls, how heavily they go To reach eternal joys! 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live At this poor, dying rate-- Our love so cold, so faint to Thee, And Thine to us so great? 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers, Come, shed abroad a Savior's love, And that shall kindle ours.

Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #3 (1918) Meter: 7.8 Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word We are gathered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee; By Thy teachings sweet and holy Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded, Till Thy Spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded; Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart! Light of Light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading, Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise to Thee and adoration! Grant that we Thy Word may trust, And obtain true consolation, While we here below must wander, Till we sing Thy praises yonder. Topics: The Beginning of Worship Languages: English
