Gracious Spirit, dwell with me!

Author: T. T. Lynch, 1818-1871 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #161 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, dwell with me! I myself would gracious be, And with words that help and heal Would Thy life in mine reveal, And with actions bold and meek Would for Christ my Saviour speak. 2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me! I myself would truthful be, And with wisdom kind and clear Let Thy life in mine appear, And with actions brotherly Speak my Lord's sincerity. 3 Tender Spirit, dwell with me! I myself would tender be: Shut my heart up like a flower At temptation's darksome hour; Open it when shines the sun, And His love by fragrance own. 4 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me! I myself would mighty be, Mighty so as to prevail Where unaided man must fail, Ever by a mighty hope Pressing on and bearing up. 5 Holy Spirit, dwell with me! I myself would holy be; Separate from sin, I would Choose and cherish all things good; And, whatever I can be, Give to Him who gave me Thee.

O Love Divine! whose constant beam

Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #162 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Love Divine! whose constant beam Shines on the eyes that will not see, And waits to bless us, while we dream, Thou leavest us because we turn from Thee! 2 All souls that struggle and aspire, All hearts of prayer by Thee are lit; And, dim or clear, Thy tongues of fire On dusky tribes and twilight centuries sit. 3 Nor bounds, nor clime, nor creed Thou know'st, Wide as our need Thy favours fall; The white wings of the Holy Ghost Stoop, seen or unseen, o'er the heads of all. 4 O Beauty, old yet ever new! Eternal Voice, and Inward Word, The Logos of the Greek and Jew, The old-sphere music which the Samian heard! 5 Truth which the sage and prophet saw, Long sought without, but found within, The Law of Love, beyond all law, The Life o'erflooding mortal death and sin! 6 Shine on us with the light which glowed Upon the trance-bound shepherd's way; Who saw the darkness overflowed, And drowned by tides of everlasting day. 7 Shine, Light of God! make broad Thy scope To all who sin and suffer; more And better than we dare to hope, With heaven's compassion make our longings poor!

Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed

Author: Miss Harriet Auber, 1773-1862 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #163 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed His tender last farewell, A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed With us to dwell. 2 He came in semblance of a dove, With sheltering wings outspread, The holy balm of peace and love On earth to shed. 3 He came in tongues of living flame To teach, convince, subdue; All-pow'rful as the wind He came As viewless too 4 He came sweet influence to impart, A gracious, willing guest, While He can find one humble heart Wherein to rest. 5 And His that gentle voice we hear, Soft as the breath of even, That checks each thought, that calms each fear, And speaks of heaven. 6 And every virtue we possess, And every conquest won, And every thought of holiness, Are His alone. 7 Spirit of purity and grace, Our weakness, pitying, see; O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place, And worthier Thee. 8 O praise the Father; praise the Son; Blest Spirit, praise to Thee; All praise to God, the Three in One, The One in Three.

Spirit of God! descend upon my heart

Author: Dr. George Croly, 1780-1860 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #164a (1917) Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God! descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, No sudden rending of the veil of clay, No angel visitant, no opening skies; But take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind; I see Thy cross; there teach my heart to cling: O let me seek Thee, and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer 5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame, The kindling of the heaven-descending Dove, My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

O Holy Spirit, Comforter

Author: T. E. Holling, 1867- Hymnal: MHTB1917 #165 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Blest Advocate and Friend, Be near us in the stress of life, Thy heavenly aid to lend, For Thou the Spirit art Of Life and Light and Love, Our death, our doubt and sin Thy coming shall remove. 2 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Thou promised guide divine, On all the journey of our life Command Thy light to shine. So shall we never stray From ways our Master trod, So shall our pathway lead To rest, to home and God. 3 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Thou searching, cleansing fire; Come purge away the dross of sin, Make pure the heart's desire. Then kindle in us zeal, And crown with tongues of flame, With Pentecostal power We shall the word proclaim. 4 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Convict the world of sin, Reveal the righteousness of God, The reign of Christ bring in. Then shall the kings of earth Their scepters sway in peace, And war with all its woe From all the earth shall cease. 5 O Holy Spirit, Comforter, Now glorify the Son; Now save and sanctify and seal, And make Thy people one. So shall the church on earth Be as the Church above; So shall the world become A paradise of love.

Living Water, freely-flowing

Author: Unknown Hymnal: MHTB1917 #166 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Living Water, freely-flowing, Fount of gladness, life-bestowing, Holy Spirit, O draw nigh, While Thy name we magnify! 2 Full of grace from heaven Thou bendest, And to lowest depths descendest; Seeking, through a world of sin, Souls whom Jesus died to win. 3 Where one contrite tear gives token Of a heart by sorrow broken, Breathing forth the breath of prayer, O blest Spirit! Thou art there. 4 When the word of revelation Glows with tidings of salvation, Through the cross of Christ made known, There Thy saving power is shown. 5 Where the mourner in his anguish Lifts to God the eyes that languish; When his spirit finds repose, Comforter, from Thee it flows. 6 O Eternal Spirit! hear us; Let Thy power and presence cheer us; With Thy life our souls inspire; With Thy love our bosoms fire. 7 By the Father sent from heaven, By the Saviour's promise given, Thee we claim, O Power Divine! Come and make our hearts Thy shrine.
