Spirit of Truth, We Call

1 Spirit of truth, we call
On Thee this house to bless,
Give wisdom, strength and grace to all
Who here Thy Name confess.

2 Spirit of mercy, bring
Thy balm the sick to heal;
And make the weary ones to sing,
Who shall Thy presence feel.

3 Spirit of peace, descend,
Thyself the heavenly Dove;
Let care for souls and bodies blend
In ministries of love.

4 Spirit of Christ, abide
In every heart alway:
And crown, O Jesus crucified,
The work begun to-day.

Amen.
