Gracious Spirit, Give Your Servants
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #569 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit give Your servants
Joy to set sin’s captives free,
Hope to heal the broken-hearted,
Peace to share love’s liberty.
Through us bring Your balm of gladness
To the wounded and oppressed;
Help us claim and show God’s favor
As a people called and blessed.
2 Word made flesh, who gave up glory
To become our great high priest,
Taking on our human nature
To redeem the last and least:
Let Your courage and compassion
Shape and guide our ministries;
As our Savior and our Shepherd,
Lead us to the truth that frees.
3 Loving God, who birthed creation
From the nothingness of space,
Kindling life where all was empty,
Turning chaos into grace:
When we feel confused and fruitless,
Dawn upon our restless night;
Give us faith’s imagination,
Hope’s renewing, love’s delight.
4 Triune God, eternal Being,
Never ending, un-begun,
Boundless grace and perfect justice,
Righteous and forgiving One:
So enfold us in Your mercy
That our wills and Yours unite;
Through us may the world behold You,
Find Your love, Your truth, Your light. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Mission, Kingdom, Social Concern; Empowerment; Ministry; Trinity; Witness Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
