Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #329 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, O Creator Spirit blest,
and in our hearts take up your rest;
Spirit of grace, with heav'nly aid
come to the souls whom you have made.
2 You are the Comforter, we cry,
sent to the earth from God Most High,
fountain of life and fire of love,
and our anointing from above.
3 Bringing from heav'n our sev'nfold dow'r,
sign of our God's right hand of pow'r,
O blessed Spirit, promised long,
your coming wakes the heart to song.
4 Make our dull minds with rapture glow,
let human hearts with love o'erflow;
and when our feeble flesh would fail,
may your immortal strength prevail.
5 Far from our souls the foe repel,
grant us in peace henceforth to dwell;
ill shall not come, nor harm betide,
if only you will be our guide.
6 Show us the Father, Holy One,
help us to know th'eternal Son;
Spirit divine, forevermore
you will we trust and you adore. Topics: Holy Spirit Anointing of; Holy Spirit Comforter; Holy Spirit Guide; Holy Spirit Invocation of; Holy Spirit Praise of; Holy Spirit Witness of Scripture: Ephesians 2:22 Languages: English Tune Title: GRACE CHURCH
