Text: | Holy Spirit, hear us |
Author: | William Henry Parker |
Tune: | ST. LUCIAN |
Composer: | Johann C. H. Rinck (1770-1846) |
1 Holy Spirit, hear us,
Help us while we sing;
Breathe into the music
Of the praise we bring.
2 Holy Spirit, prompt us
When we kneel to pray;
Nearer come, and teach us
What we ought to say.
3 Holy Spirit, shine Thou
On the Book we read;
Gild its holy pages
With the light we need.
4 Holy Spirit, give us
Each a lowly mind;
Make us more like Jesus,
Gentle, pure, and kind.
5 Holy Spirit, brighten
Little deeds of toil;
And our playful pastimes
Let no folly spoil.
6 Holy Spirit, keep us
Safe from sins which lie
Hidden by some pleasure
From our youthful eye.
7 Holy Spirit, help us
Daily by Thy might
What is wrong to conquer,
And to choose the right.
Amen.
