Text: | Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me |
Author: | Thomas T. Lynch, 1818-1871 |
Tune: | REDHEAD NO. 76 |
Composer: | Richard Redhead, 1820-1901 |
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;
Separate from sin, I would
Choose and cherish all things good,
And whatever I can be
Give to Him who gave me Thee!
Amen.
