Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10342 Meter: 11.11.11.11.11.11 First Line: Hear us, Thou that broodest o’er the watery deep Refrain First Line: Light and life immortal, hear us as we raise Lyrics: 1 Hear us, Thou that broodest o’er the watery deep,
Waking all creation from its primal sleep;
Holy Spirit, breathing breath of life divine,
Breathe into our spirits, blending them with Thine.
Refrain:
Light and life immortal, hear us as we raise,
Hearts, as well as voices, mingling prayer with praise.
2 When the sun ariseth in a cloudless sky,
May we feel Thy presence, Holy Spirit, nigh;
Shed Thy radiance o’er us, keep it cloudless still,
Through the day before us, perfecting Thy will. [Refrain]
3 When the fight is fiercest, in the noontide heat,
Bear us, Holy Spirit, to our Savior’s feet;
There to find a refuge, till our work is done,
There to fight the battle, till the battle’s won. [Refrain]
4 If the day be falling sadly as it goes,
Slowly in its sadness sinking to its close,
May Thy love in mercy kindling, ere it die,
Cast a ray of glory o’er our evening sky. [Refrain]
5 Morning, noon, and evening, whensoe’er it be,
Grant us, gracious Spirit, quickening life in Thee;
Life that gives us, living, life of heavenly love,
Life that brings us, dying, life from Heaven above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: DANIA
