Author: James Montgomery; James M. Gray Hymnal: Revival Hymns #135 (1905) Incipit: 12312 71234 2312 First Line: Lord God the Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Lord God, the Holy Ghost,
In this accepted hour,
As on the day of Pentecost,
Descend in all Thy power.
Refrain:
We invoke Thee, Holy Spirit,
Fill the hearts where Thou dost dwell,
And on them that know not Jesus,
Come in saving pow'r, as well!
2 We meet with one accord
In our appointed place
And wait the promise of our Lord,
The Spirit of all grace. [Refrain]
3 Like mighty rushing wind
Upon the waves beneath,
Move with one impulse every mind;
One soul, one feeling breathe. [Refrain]
4 The young, the old inspire
With wisdom from above;
And give us hearts and tongues of fire,
To pray, and praise, and love. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Lord God, the Holy Ghost]
We invoke Thee, Holy Spirit
