Author: C. Wordsworth Appears in 205 hymnals First Line: Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Taught by thee, we covet most
Of thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love.
2 Faith, that mountains could remove,
Tongues of earth or heaven above,
Knowledge all things empty prove,
Without heavenly love.
3 Love is kind, and suffers long;
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong;
Love, than death itself more strong:
Give us heavenly love.
4 Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay:
Give us heavenly love.
5 Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;
Love in heaven will shine more bright:
Give us heavenly love.
6 Faith and hope and love we see
Joining hand in hand agree;
But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.
7 From the overshadowing
Of thy gold and silver wing,
Shed on us, who to thee sing,
Holy, heavenly love.
