Hymnal: Christian Hymns #7 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Be all Thy graces now outpoured
On the believer's mind and soul,
To strengthen, save, and make us whole.
2 Lord, by the brightness of Thy light,
Thou in the faith dost men unite
Of every land and every tongue:
This to Thy praise, O Lord, be sung.
3 Thou Strong Defence, Thou holy Light,
Teach us to know our God aright,
And call Him Father from the heart:
The Word of life and truth impart,
4 That we may not love doctrines strange,
Nor e'er to other teachers range,
But Jesus for our Master own,
And put our trust in Him alone.
5 Thou Sacred Ardor, Comfort sweet,
Help us to wait with ready feet
And willing heart at Thy command,
Nor trial fright us from Thy band.
6 Lord, may Thy power prepare each heart,
To our weak nature strength impart,
That as good warriors we may force,
Thro' life and death, to Thee our course! Topics: TheChurch Year Whitsuntide; Holy Ghost Prayed for; Invocation; Strength, prayed for Languages: English Tune Title: COME GOD, CREATOR, HOLY GHOST
