Text: | O Holy Ghost, thy people bless |
Author: | Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 |
Tune: | WINCHESTER OLD |
Composer: | Thomas Este |
1 O Holy Ghost, thy people bless
who long to feel thy might,
and fain would grow in holiness
as children of the light
2 To thee we bring, who art the Lord,
our selves to be thy throne;
let every thought, and deed, and word
thy pure dominion own.
3 Life-giving Spirit, o’er us move,
as on the formless deep;
give life and order, light and love,
where now is death or sleep.
4 Great gift of our ascended King,
his saving truth reveal;
our tongues inspire his praise to sing,
our hearts his love to feel.
5 True Wind of Heaven, from south or north,
for joy or chastening, blow;
the garden-spices shall spring forth
if thou wilt bid them flow.
6 O Holy Ghost, of sevenfold might,
all graces come from thee;
grant us to know and serve aright
one God in Persons Three.
