Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove

Author: Rev. Simon Browne Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 602 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove, With light and comfort from above; Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide, O'er every thought and step preside. 2 The light of truth to us display, And make us know and choose Thy way; Plant holy fear in every heart, That we from God may ne'er depart. 3 Lead us to holiness, the road Which we must take to dwell with God; Lead us to Christ, the living Way, Nor let us from His pastures stray. 4 Lead us to God, our final rest, To be with Him for ever blest; Lead us to heaven, that we may share Fullness of joy forever there. Amen. Topics: The Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit, The Used With Tune: HOLLEY Text Sources: Ash and Evans' "Collection," 1769

Behold a Stranger at the Door

Author: Joseph Grigg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 629 hymnals First Line: Behold a stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long--is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude, He stands With melting heart and laden hands! O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need; The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Admit Him, lest His anger burn, And He, departing, ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Invitation to Repentance; Trinity, Twentieth Sunday Used With Tune: HOLLEY
