The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#193

193. Holy Spirit, hear us

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, help us
Daily, by thy might,
What is wrong to conquer,
And to choose the right.
