Come, O come, Thou quick'ning Spirit

Hymnal: ELH1880 #102 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Come, O come, Thou quick'ning Spirit, God from all eternity! Let us Thy blest grace inherit, And our souls be filled by Thee; Then will spirit, life, and light Dissipate our inner night. 2 Grant our hearts in heavenly measure Wisdom, counsel, purity, That we never may take pleasure In aught but what pleases Thee; In Thy knowledge make us whole, And from error free the soul. 3 Let us trust Thy witness wholly, That we are the sons of God, Who rely upon Him solely, When they pass beneath the rod; For the Father's chastenings Bless above all earthly things. 4 Prompt us, that we come before Him Joyously with hope in view, Sigh in us, when we implore Him, And e'er plead for us anew; Then our prayer will not be vain, And our faith new strength will gain. 5 Should our soul for comfort languish, And despondency grow strong, That the heart must cry in anguish: "Oh, my God, my God, how long!" Sooth Thou then the aching breast, Grant us patience, strength, and rest. 6 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 vict'ry crown our life. 7 Guard our faith, that naught molest it-- Satan, death, or scornful jeer-- Let no power from us wrest it, Thou, O God, our Trust and Cheer! Though our heart would fain say nay, Be Thy Word to us still Yea. 8 And when life with death is blending, 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 Holy Ghost descend, we pray

Hymnal: ELH1880 #103 (1880) Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost descend, we pray, Abide with us from day to day, Thy temple deign to make us! Let Thy bright beams, thou heav'nly Light, Dispel the darkness of our night, To joy and gladness wake us; That we Too Thee Truly living, To Thee giving Pray'r 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 may Thee the Father, Son, And Spirit, on one common throne, Confess, Thy glory 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 the Lord and bless our neighbor. 4 Direct us by Thy counsel still, That we may understand Thy will; We err unless Thou guide us. O grant us constancy, that we May ever faithful prove to Thee, Whatever woes betide us. Descend, Defend From all errors And earth's terrors; Be our healing, Jesus' love and peace revealing. 5 Thy grace sustain, pervade our heart, That we may act the valiant part With Thee as our reliance; Be Thou our Captain and our Shield, That we may never quit the field, But bid the foe defiance. Heed us! Speed us! O'er us hover As our Cover; 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 fire Inspire Quick'ning savor, That with favor Our behavior May confess Christ as our Savior. 7 O gentle Dew, from heav'n now fall With power upon the hearts of all, Thy tenderness instilling; That heart to heart more closely bound, Fruitful in kindly deeds be found, The law of love fulfilling! No ill Shall fill Hearts that love Thee And approve Thee; Where Thou livest Peace, good will, and joy thou givest, 8 Grant that our days, while life shall last, In humble holiness be passed; Our minds fill with thy leaven, That they may rise o'er things of earth, The hopes and joys that here have birth, And live in joys of heaven. Sustain, Restrain From offences Hearts and senses; Blessed Spirit! Bid us thus true life inherit. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost Languages: English

Scarce tongue can speak, ne'er human ken

Hymnal: ELH1880 #111 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Scarce tongue can speak, ne’er human ken The myst’ry could discover, That God from His high throne to men Makes known the world all over: That He alone is King above All other gods whatever, Great, mighty, faithful, full of love, His saints doth aye deliver; One essence but three persons! 2 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! The name thrice holy given, On earth by all the ransomed host, And by the hosts of heaven. He’s Abraham’s and Isaac’s God, And Jacob’s, whom He knoweth, The Lord of Hosts, who every good Both night and day bestoweth, Who only doeth wonders! 3 His Son, from all eternity Begotten of the Father, Did come as man, when God’s decree Had fixed, His sheep to gather. The Holy Ghost eternally, While all their glory sharing, Their honor, power, and majesty, A crown all equal wearing, Proceeds from Son and Father! 4 Be glad, my heart, thy portion see, Thy rich, unequalled treasure, He is thy Friend, supply will He Thy needs with bounteous measure. Who made thee in His image fair, Thy load of guilt removeth, Gives thee His people’s faith to share, Thy joy in sorrow proveth, Through His own Word most holy. 5 Bestir thyself, with all thy heart Thy God to know endeavor: Such knowledge will sweet rest impart, Thy soul with pure love ever Will cause to glow, and nourish thee For life and joy in heaven; Things only heard of here, shall be To open sight there given, By God to His dear children. 6 Woe! woe! to the besotted crew In willful blindness living, Rejecting God, the honor due To Him, to creatures giving. The time will come when close shall He On them the door of heaven; Who drive God from them here, shall be By Him hereafter driven, From His high throne most holy! 7 O Prince of Might! Thy mercy show, Thou God of earth and heaven;, To every sinner here below May saving grace be given! Bring back Thy sheep that go astray, And blinded eyes enlighten, And turn Thou ev'rything away That wickedly might frighten Thine own, whose faith is feeble. 8 Grant this, that we Thy people may All reach the heavenly portals, And in Thy kingdom sing for aye, ’Mid all the bless’d immortals: That Thou above art King alone All other gods high over, The Father, Son, and Spirit, One, Thy people’s Shield and Cover, One essence but three persons!
