135. Lord God the Holy Ghost

1 Lord God, the Holy Ghost,
In this accepted hour,
As on the day of Pentecost,
Descend in all Thy power.

Refrain:
We invoke Thee, Holy Spirit,
Fill the hearts where Thou dost dwell,
And on them that know not Jesus,
Come in saving pow'r, as well!

2 We meet with one accord
In our appointed place
And wait the promise of our Lord,
The Spirit of all grace. [Refrain]

3 Like mighty rushing wind
Upon the waves beneath,
Move with one impulse every mind;
One soul, one feeling breathe. [Refrain]

4 The young, the old inspire
With wisdom from above;
And give us hearts and tongues of fire,
To pray, and praise, and love. [Refrain]
