Prayer for grace

Appears in 210 hymnals First Line: Gracious Spirit, dwell with me 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 mighty 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.

Cheer my face—with Thy grace; Oil of consolation, Gladness and salvation. 3 O my foe, depart from me; God hath heard my crying: Him I seek, from fear set free, To His presence flying. Hence dismay—hence away: All my sorrow ceaseth; God my heart releaseth. 4 Holy Father! endless praise Here and in high Heaven, All shall to Thy glory raise, Praise to Christ be given Praise to Thee—ever be, Holy Ghost who hearest, And Thy suppliants cheerest.

Righteous Lord, Thy People Spare

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Righteous Lord, Thy people spare! Lyrics: 1 Righteous Lord, Thy people spare! Lo! We turn at last to Thee, Humbly the correction bear Of our past iniquity, Own the cause of our distress, Mournfully our sins confess. 2 We Thy judgments have abhorred, We Thy covenant have broke, Daringly denied our Lord, Cast away His easy yoke, Would not cast our sins away, Would not know our gracious day. 3 Therefore is the plague begun, Therefore doth it still proceed, Wrath divine by means unknown, Wrath divine hath done the deed, Made the stalls and pastures void, God our cattle hath destroyed. 4 Heavier woes He keeps in store, If we still refuse to turn, Dare His anger’s utmost power, All His lingering pity scorn; But beneath Thy hand we bow, Stay Thy plague, and save us now. 5 Jesu, save us from our sins, Save us from our plague of heart; All of unbelief convince, All unto Thyself convert; Let our sin-sick spirits find Thee the healer of mankind. 6 No delight Thy goodness hath In the death of him who dies; Grant us then the living faith, Faith that on Thy blood relies, Faith that all Thy grace receives, Faith that all Thy fullness gives.
