The Church Hymnal‎#134

1 Spirit blest, Who art adored
With the Father and the Word,
One eternal God and Lord;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

2 Thou by Whom the Virgin bore
Him Whom heaven and earth adore,
Sent our nature to restore;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

3 Thou Whom Jesus, from His throne,
Gave to cheer and help His own,
That they might not be alone;
Hear, Holy Spirit.

4 Thou Whose sound apostles heard,
Thou Whose power their spirit stirred,
Giving them Thy living Word;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

5 Thou Whose grace the Church doth fill,
Showing her God's perfect will,
Making Jesus present still;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

6 All Thy sevenfold gifts bestow,
Gifts of wisdom God to know,
Gifts of strength to meet the foe;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

8 Come to raise us when we fall,
And, when snares our minds enthral,
Lead us back with gentle call;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

9 Come to strengthen all the weak,
Give Thy courage to the meek,
Teach our faltering tongues to speak;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

10 Come to aid the souls who yearn
More of truth divine to learn,
And with deeper love to burn;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

11 Keep us in the narrow way,
Warn us when we go astray,
Plead within us when we pray;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

12 Holy, loving, as Thou art,
Come, and live within our heart;
Nevermore from us depart;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
