Text: | Holy Spirit, Hear Us |
Author: | Joseph Mohr |

Tune: | WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN |
Composer: | Friedrich Filitz |
1 Holy Spirit, hear us
On this sacred day;
Come to us with blessing,
Come with us to stay.
2 Come as once Thou camest
To the faithful few
Patiently awaiting
Jesus’ promise true.
3 Up to heav’n ascending,
Our dear Lord has gone;
Yet His little children
Leaves He not alone.
4 To His blessed promise
Now in faith we cling.
Comforter most holy,
Spread o’er us Thy wing.
5 Lighten Thou our darkness,
Be Thyself our Light;
Strengthen Thou our weakness,
Spirit of all might.
6 Spirit of Adoption,
Make us overflow
With Thy sevenfold blessing
And in grace to grow.
7 Into Christ baptizèd
Grant that we may be
Day and night, dear Spirit,
Perfected by Thee.
Amen.
