Text:Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, Alone
Author:Henrietta E. Blair, 19th Century
Tune:[Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, Alone]
Composer:William J. Kirkpatrick, 1838-1921

93. Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, Alone

1 Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone
Can turn our hearts from sin;
His pow'r alone can sanctify
And keep us pure within.

2 Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone
Can deeper love inspire;
His pow'r alone within our souls
Can light the sacred fire.

3 Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can bring
The gifts we seek in pray'r;
His voice can words of comfort speak,
And still each wave of care.

4 Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can give
The grace we need this hour;
And while we wait, O Spirit, come
In sanctifying pow'r.

Amen.
