Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Bp. Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Appears in 210 hymnals 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. Topics: The Godhead The Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Imparting power, holiness, perfect love Used With Tune: VESPER
