Holy Spirit Hear Us

  

Holy Spirit, hear us;
Help us while we sing;
Breath into the music
Of the praise we bring.

Holy Spirit, shine Thou
On the Book we read;
Gild it’s holy pages
With the light we need.

Holy Spirit, prompt us
When we kneel to pray;
Nearer come, and teach us
What we ought to say.

Holy Spirit, help us
daily, by your might,
what is wrong to conquer,
and to choose the right.

Holy Spirit, teach us
through the words we read;
bring to life the Bible
with the light we need.

Holy Spirit, give us
each a lively mind;
make us more like Jesus,
gracious, pure and kind.

Come as once Thou camest
To the faithful few
Patiently awaiting
Jesus’ promise true.

Up to heaven ascending,
Our dear Lord has gone;
Yet His little children
Leaves He not alone.

To His blessed promise
Now in faith we cling.
Comforter, most holy,
Spread o’er us Thy wing.

Lighten Thou our darkness,
Be Thyself our Light;
Strengthen Thou our weakness,
Spirit of all might.

Spirit of Adoption,
Make us overflow
With Thy sevenfold blessing
And in grace to grow.

Into Christ baptized
Grant that we may be
Day and night, dear Spirit,
Perfected by Thee!
