Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#227

227. O Spirit of Grace

1 O Spirit of grace,
Thy kindness we trace
In showing to us
That life and salvation proceed from Christ’s Cross.

2 In darkness we strayed
Until we were led
By Thee to believe
That Jesus, our Savior, will sinners receive.

3 Grant us to obey
Thy teaching, we pray,
O Spirit of love,
And thankful to Thee for Thy mercies to prove.
