Therefore Give Us Love
Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 210 hymnals First Line: Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Taught by Thee we covet most,
Of Thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love.
Love is kind, and suffers long;
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong;
Love than death itself more strong;
Therefore give us love.
2 Faith and hope and love we see,
Joining hand and hand, agree;
But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.
Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;
Love in heaven will shine more bright;
Therefore give us love.
3 From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing,
Shed on us who to Thee sing
Holy, heavenly love.
Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore give us love. Used With Tune: SCOTS WHA' HAE
Therefore Give Us Love
Millennial dawn
Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Saints, exult! adieu to tears Lyrics: 1 Saints, exult! adieu to tears;
Gloriously the dawn appears:
Dawn of bright millennial years,
Our great Messiah's reign.
See his banner floating o'er
Ev'ry dark and heathen shore;
Gloom profound shall brood no more,
Nor idol gods remain.
2 Where in polar regions rise
Mountains of perpetual ice,
Beams of brightness gild the skies;
Prepare, prepare his way.
Frosts eternal own his word;
Mountains melt before the Lord;
Human hearts with joy accord
To him the victory.
3 On the sands of torrid zone,
Shines from far his great white throne;
Ethiopia is his own;
He breaks her captive bands.
Hear the voice of wailing hush;
See the limpid fountain gush;
Thirsty crowds around it rush,
And clap their joyful hands.
4 Isles, that grace the ocean's bed,
Long in superstition dead,
Hear the voice of him who bled,
And bless the rule he bears.
Saving health from him they prove;
Grace perfumes the air above
Round them rolls a sea of love--
A paradise is theirs.
5 Ships, that o'er the billows ride,
Beat by wind and angry tide,
Safely moors--securely glide,
On oceans deep and dark.
Howl the storm--let surges roar;
Night's black mantle shroud then o'er;
Storms and perils fright no more,
Since Christ is in the bark.
6 Hail the world's great jubilee--
Day of blood-brought liberty!
Satan bound--earth more than free--
Come forth, our choicest lays;
Pitch the blissful chorus higher;
Oh! for cloven tongues of fire,
Oh! for an immortal lyre,
To sing the reign of grace. Used With Tune: MILLENNIAL DAWN
