I Worship Thee, O Holy Ghost

Representative Text

1 I worship Thee, O Holy Ghost.
I love to worship Thee.
My risen Lord for aye were lost
But for Thy company.

2 I worship Thee, O Holy Ghost.
I love to worship Thee.
I grieved Thee long, alas! Thou knos'st
It grieves me bitterly.

3 I worship Thee, O Holy Ghost.
I love to worship Thee.
Thy patient love, at what a cost.
At last it conquered me!

4 I worship Thee, O Holy Ghost.
I love to worship Thee.
With Thee each day is Pentecost,
Each night Nativity.

Warren, William Fairfield, D.D., was born at Williamsburg, Massachusetts, in 1833, and graduated at the Wesleyan University in 1853. After spending some time in Germany, he was appointed Professor of Systematic Theology in the Methodist Episcopal Mission Institute at Bremen, in 1861. Returning to America in 1866, he held some important appointments there, ultimately becoming President of Boston University, in 1873. His hymn, "I worship Thee, O Holy Ghost" (Whitsuntide), was contributed to the American Methodist Episcopal Hymnal, at the request of the editorial committee, in 1877, and was published therein in 1878. It has passed into other collections. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)… Go to person page >
