Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #111 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.9.9.8 Lyrics: 1 COME, Holy Spirit, God and Lord! Be all Thy graces now outpoured On each believer's mind and heart; Thy fervent love to us impart. Lord, by the brightness of Thy light Thou in the faith dost men unite Of every tongue and every nation; We, therefore, sing with exultation: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 2 Thou holy Light, our Guide divine, O cause the Word of life to shine; Teach us to know our God aright, And call Him Father with delight, From error, Lord, our souls defend, That they on Christ alone attend, In Him with living faith abiding, In Him with all their might confiding. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 3 Thou holy Fire, sweet Source of rest, Grant that, with joy and hope possessed We always in Thy service stay, And trouble drive us not away. Lord, by Thy power prepare our heart To our weak nature strength impart, That firmly here we be contending, Through life and death to Thee ascending. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #112 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 See, how we grovel here below, Fond of these earthly toys; Our souls, how heavily they go, To reach eternal joys! 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise: Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live At this poor, dying rate-- Our love so cold, so faint to Thee, And Thine to us so great? 4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all Thy quickening powers. Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love, And that shall kindle ours. Topics: Pentecost Languages: English

Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #113 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 COME, O come, Thou quickening Spirit, True God from eternity! Let us Thy blest grace inherit, And our souls be filled with Thee; Then shall spirit, life, and light Dissipate our inner night. 2 Grant our hearts Thy heavenly treasure: Wisdom, counsel, purity; That in naught we may take pleasure But in that which pleaseth Thee. Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working errors' overthrow. 3 Lead us to our soul's salvation, Keep us in the paths of grace, Shield us from the world's temptation That might foil us in the race; When we stumble, hear our call, Work repentance for our fall. 4 Let us trust Thy witness wholly That we children are of God, Who rely upon Him solely, When they pass beneath the rod; For the Father's chastenings Bless above all earthly things. 5 Prompt us, that we come before Him Joyously with hope in view, Sigh in us, when we implore Him. Ever plead for us anew; Then our prayer shall not be vain, And our faith new strength shall gain. 6 If our soul for comfort languish, And despondency grows strong, That the heart must cry in anguish: "O my God, my God, how long?" Comfort then the aching breast, Grant it courage, patience, rest. 7 Mighty Spirit of reliance, Sure Defence in all our need! When the Foe bids us defiance, Bid Thy work in us God speed! Grant us weapons for the strife, And with victory crown our life. 8 Guard, O God, our faith forever; Let not Satan, death or shame Ever part us from our Saviour; Lord, our refuge is Thy name. Though our flesh would fain say Nay, Be Thy Word to us still Yea. 9 And when death life's thread is rending, Then assure us yet the more, As the heirs of life unending, Of the glory there in store Which can never be expressed, But with which we shall be blest.

O enter, Lord, Thy temple

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #117 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 O ENTER, Lord, Thy temple, Be Thou my spirit's Guest, Who gavest me, the earth-born, A second birth more blest. Thou in the Godhead, Lord, Though here to dwell Thou deignest Forever equal reignest, Art equally adored. 2 O enter, let me know Thee, And feel Thy power within, The power that breaks our fetters, And rescues us from sin; So wash and cleanse Thou me, That I may serve Thee truly, And render honor duly With perfect heart to Thee. 3 An olive wild by nature Thou graftedst me anew; Death preyed upon my vitals, And claimed me as his due: But Christ's atoning blood, In death true comfort granting, Drowned death with all his vaunting, In His baptismal flood. 4 Thou art, O Holy Spirit, The true anointing Oil, Through which are consecrated Soul, body, ease and toil To Christ whose guardian wings, Where'er their lot appointed, Protect His own anointed, His prophets, priests, and kings. 5 'Tis Thou, O Spirit, teachest The soul to pray aright; Thy songs have sweetest music, Thy prayers have wondrous might: They pierce the highest heaven, Unheard they cannot fall, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 6 Joy is Thy gift, O Spirit! Thou wouldst not have us pine; In darkest hours Thy comfort Doth aye most brightly shine; Ah! then how oft Thy voice Hath shed its sweetness o'er me, And opened heaven before me, And bid my heart rejoice! 7 All love in Thine, O Spirit! Thou hatest enmity; Thou lovest peace and friendship, All strife wouldst have us flee; Where wrath and discord reign Thy whisper inly pleadeth, And to the heart that heedeth Brings love and light again. 8 The whole wide world, O Spirit! Upon Thy hands doth rest Our wayward hearts Thou turnest As it may seem Thee best; Once more Thy power make known, As Thou hast done so often, Convert the wicked, soften Thyself the hearts of stone. 9 O Holy Spirit, hear us And make our sorrow cease, Thy scattered flock restore now To union, joy, and peace; Bid flourish once again The lands by men forsaken, The churches spoiled and shaken By war's unhallowed train. 10 On those that rule our country O shower Thy blessings down, And in Thy loving-kindness Adorn, as with a crown, With piety our youth, With godliness our nation, That all, to gain salvation, May know Thy heavenly truth. 11 With holy zeal then fill us, To keep the faith still pure: And bless our lands and houses With wealth that may endure; And make the Foe to flee, Who in us with Thee striveth, From out our heart he driveth Whate'er delighteth Thee. 12 Grant steadfastness and courage, That bravely we contend Against the wiles of Satan; O Lord, Thy flock defend! Help us to battle well, To triumph o'er the Devil, To overcome the evil And all the powers of hell. 13 Order our path in all things According to Thy mind, And when this life is over, And all must be resigned, O grant us then to die With calm and fearless spirit, And after death inherit Eternal life on high.

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #119 (1893) Meter: 8.8.7.4.8 Lyrics: 1 O HOLY Spirit, enter in, And in our hearts Thy work begin, Thy temple deign to make us; Sun of the soul, Thou Light divine, Around and in us brightly shine, To joy and gladness wake us. That we To Thee Truly living, To Thee giving Prayer unceasing, Still may be in love increasing. 2 Give to Thy Word impressive power, That in our hearts, from this good hour, As fire it may be glowing; That we confess the Father, Son, And Thee, the Spirit, Three in One, Thy glory ever showing. O stay And sway Our souls ever, That they never May forsake Thee, But by faith their refuge make Thee. 3 Thou Fountain, whence all wisdom flows, Which God on pious hearts bestows, Grant us Thy consolation, That in our pure faith's unity We faithful witnesses may be Of grace that brings salvation. Hear us, Cheer us By Thy teaching; Let our preaching And our labor Praise Thee, Lord, and bless our neighbor. 4 Left to ourselves we shall but stray; O lead us on the narrow way, With wisest counsel guide us, And give us steadfastness, that we May ever faithful prove to Thee, Whatever woes betide us. Lord, now Heal Thou All hearts broken, And betoken Thou art near us, Whom we trust to light and cheer us. 5 Thy heavenly strength sustain our heart That we may act the valiant part With Thee as our Reliance; Be Thou our Refuge and our Shield, That we may never quit the field, Bidding all foes defiance. Descend, Defend From all errors And earth's terrors: Thy salvation Be our constant consolation. 6 O mighty Rock, O Source of life, Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife, Be so within us burning, That we be faithful unto death, In Thy pure love and holy faith, From Thee true wisdom learning! Thy grace And peace On us shower; By Thy power Christ confessing, Let us win our Saviour's blessing. 7 O gentle Dew, from heaven now fall With power upon the hearts of all, Thy tender love instilling: That heart to heart more closely bound, Fruitful in kindly deeds be found, The law of love fulfilling; Then, Lord, Discord Shall not grieve Thee; We receive Thee; Where Thou livest, Peace, and love, and joy Thou givest. 8 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In purest holiness be passed, Be Thou our Strength forever; Grant that our hearts henceforth be free From sinful lust and vanity, Which us from Thee must sever. Keep Thou Pure now From offences Heart and senses. Blessed Spirit! Let us heavenly life inherit. Topics: Pentecost Languages: English
