144. Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me

1 Gracious Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would gracious be;
And with words that help and heal
Would Thy life in mine reveal;
And with actions bold and meek
Would for Christ my Savior speak.

2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would truthful be;
And, with wisdom kind and clear,
Let Thy life in mine appear;
And with actions brotherly
Speak my Lord’s sincerity.

3 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would mighty be;
Mighty so as to prevail
Where unaided man must fail;
Ever, by a mighty hope,
Pressing on and bearing up.

4 Holy Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would holy be;
In Thy power, all sin withstood,
I would cherish all things good;
And whatever I can be
Give to Him who gave me Thee!

Amen.
