Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal ‎#680

680. Holy Spirit, Hear Us

1 Holy Spirit, hear us;
Help us while we sing;
Breath into the music
Of the praise we bring.

2 Holy Spirit, prompt us
When we kneel to pray;
Nearer come, and teach us
What we ought to say.

3 Holy Spirit, shine Thou
On the Book we read;
Gild it’s holy pages
With the light we need.
