Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Author: Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 210 hymnals Topics: Pentecost and the Work of the Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
taught by thee, we covet most
of thy gifts at Pentecost,
holy, heavenly love.
2 Love is kind, and suffers long,
love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
love than death itself more strong;
therefore give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away,
melting in the light of day;
love will ever with us stay;
therefore give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight;
hope be emptied in delight;
love in heaven will shine more bright;
therefore give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see
joining hand in hand agree;
but the greatest of the three,
and the best, is love.
6 From the overshadowing
of thy gold and silver wing
shed on us, who to thee sing,
holy, heavenly love. Scripture: Psalm 68:13 Used With Tune: CHARITY

and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

mine outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,

with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,

wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Scripture: John 13:31-35 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

the brothers of thy well-belovèd Son;

into our hearts, that we may be as one:
as one with thee, to whom we ever tend;
as one with him, our Brother and our Friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,
one in our love of all things sweet and fair,
one with the joy that breaketh into song,
one with the grief that trembles into prayer,
one in the power that makes thy children free
to follow truth, and thus to follow thee.
4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armour, Lord,
thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;
our inspiration be thy constant word;
we ask no victories that are not thine:
give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be;
enough to know that we are serving thee. Scripture: John 17:20-23 Used With Tune: SONG 1
