196. Lord God, the Holy Ghost

1 Lord God, the Holy Ghost,
In this accepted hour,
As on the day of Pentecost,
Descend with all thy power.

2 We meet with one accord
In our appointed place,
And wait the promise of our
Lord, The Spirit of all grace.

3 Like mighty rushing wind
Upon the waves beneath,
Move with one impulse every mind,
One soul, one feeling breathe.

4 The young, the old inspire
With wisdom from above;
And give us hearts and tongues of fire
To pray and praise and love.

5 Spirit of light explore,
And chase our gloom away,
With lustre shining more and more
Unto the perfect day.

6 Spirit of truth, be thou
In life and death our guide;
O Spirit of adoption, now
May we be sanctified.
