Text:Spirit of God, in love descend

104. Spirit of God, in love descend

Spirit of God, in love descend,
And make our hearts Thy place of rest;
In all our need a steadfast Friend,
To fill our store with gifts the best;

To cleanse our souls with holy fire
From sordid stains that guilt imparts,
And with Thy heavenly power inspire
Our languid zeal, and fainting hearts;

To lift our minds to nobler things
Than earth from all its best can show--
The wealth that flies on speedy wings,
The fleeting joys, like sparks that glow.

105
Come in the hour of sore distress,
When deep the heart for comfort sighs;
And with Thy soothing kindliness
The tear-drops wipe from weeping eyes.

"Lo, I am with you to the end,"
Thus speaks the promise of our Lord;
O Spirit of the Christ, descend,
Fulfil to us the gracious word.
