Tune Title: GOWER'S LITANY
Composer: John Henry Gower
1 Spirit, strength of all the week,
Giving courage to the meek,
Teaching falt'ring tongues to speak;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
2 Spirit, aiding all who yearn
More of truth divine to learn,
And with deeper love to burn;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
3 Spirit, Fount of faith and joy,
Giving peace without alloy,
Hope that nothing can destroy;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
4 Source of love and light Divine,
With that hall'wing grace of thine,
More and more upon us shine;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
5 Holy, loving, as thou art,
Come and live within our heart,
Never from us to depart;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
6 May we soon, from sin set free,
Where thy work may perfect be,
Jesus' face with rapture see:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
