Against the wiles of Satan; To triumph o'er the Devil, 13 Order our path in all things O grant us then to die With calm and fearless spirit, 253 GRACIOUS Spirit, Dove divine! 2 Speak Thy pardoning grace to me, 3 Life and peace to me impart; 4 Let me never from Thee stray, 78 254 8, 6, 8, 6, 8, 8 LET songs of praises fill the sky: Sends down His Spirit from on high, All hail the day of Pentecost, 2 The Spirit by His heavenly breath He quickens sinners from the death All hail the day of Pentecost, The coming of the Holy Ghost! 3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes, All hail the day of Pentecost, 4 Come, Holy Spirit, from above, Come, and with flames of zeal and love Our hearts and tongues inspire! Be this our day of Pentecost, The coming of the Holy Ghost! 255 C. M. COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 See how we grovel here below, 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, Hosannas languish on our tongues, 4 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live Our love so cold, so faint to Thee, 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, 256 HOLY Spirit! hear us On this sacred day; Come to us with blessing, Come with us to stay. 2 Come, as once Thou camest 3 Up to heaven ascending 4 To His blessed promise Now in faith we cling:Comforter, most holy! Spread o'er us Thy wing. 5 Lighten Thou our darkness, Be Thyself our light; 6, 5, 6, 8 Strengthen Thou our weakness, 6 Spirit of adoption! With Thy sevenfold blessing, 7 Into Christ baptized Grant that we may be, Day and night, dear Spirit, Perfected by Thee! 257 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8.9, 9, 8 2 Thou holy Light, Guide divine, 3 Thou holy Fire, Source of rest, Grant that, with joy and hope possessed, We always in Thy service stay, And trouble drive us not away. Lord, by Thy power prepare each heart To our weak nature strength impart, ascending. 258 Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 8. M. COME, Holy Spirit, come! Let Thy bright beams arise; Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. 2 Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love. 3 Convince us of our sin; Then lead to Jesus' blood, 4 'Tis Thine to cleanse the heart, To pour fresh life on every part, 5 Dwell, therefore, in our hearts; Our minds from bondage free; Then shall we know, and praise, and love, 259 The Father, Son, and Thee. HOLY Ghost, with light divine, 78 |
