Author: Rev. Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: Light in the Valley #31 (1898) Lyrics: 1 Spirit blest, who art adored
With the Father and the Word,
One eternal God and Lord;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
2 Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
Dew descending from above,
Breath of life, and fire of love;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
3 Source of strength and knowledge clear,
Wisdom, godliness sincere,
Understanding, counsel, fear;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
4 Source of meekness, love, and peace,
Patience, pureness, faith's increase,
Hope and joy that cannot cease;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
5 Spirit guiding us aright,
Spirit making darkness light,
Spirit of resistless might;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
6 Thou, whom Jesus from his throne
Gave to cheer and help his own,
That they might not be alone;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
7 Thou by whom our souls are fed
With the true and living bread,
Even him who for us bled;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
8 Come to raise us when we fall,
And, when snares our souls enthrall,
Lead us back with gentle call;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
9 Keep us in the narrow way,
Warn us when we go astray,
Plead within us when we pray;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
10 Holy, loving, as thou art,
Come, and live within our heart,
Never from us to depart;
Hear us, Holy Spirit. Topics: Devotional Languages: English Tune Title: [Spirit blest, who art adored]
