Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#392

392. Give me, Lord, Thy Holy Spirit

1 Give me, Lord, Thy Holy Spirit,
Sanctify me by Thy grace;
Guard me, guide me, help me onward,
As I run my heav’nward race.

2 Keep me humble, loyal, faithful,
True to Christ, my King and Lord;
Daily bless to my refreshment
Some sweet promise of Thy word.

3 Oh, be near me, blessèd Saviour,
Fill me with Thy Spirit’s grace;
Help me to reflect Thy glory;
Fit me to behold Thy face.

4 Ever let Thine hand sustain me,
Sheltered by Thy perfect love;
Finish Thine own work, and bring me
Home to rest with Thee above.
