Of All the Spirit's Gifts to Me
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Of all the Spirit's gifts to me,
I pray that I may never cease
to take and treasure most these three:
love, joy, and peace.
2 The Spirit shows me love's the root
of every gift sent from above,
of every flower, of every fruit,
that God is love.
3 The Spirit shows if I possess
a love no evil can destroy;
however great is my distress,
then this is joy.
4 Though what's ahead is mystery,
and life itself is ours on lease,
each day the Spirit says to me:
"Go forth in peace!"
5 We go in peace, but made aware
that, in a needy world like this,
our clearest purpose is to share
love, joy, and peace. Topics: The Holy Spirit Gifts of the Spirit; God Present in the Holy Spirit Gifts of the Spirit; Joy; Love; Peace on Earth; Holy Spirit Scripture: Galatians 5:22 Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING

Guide them in the midst of dangers:

When we reach our journey’s end.

Where we err do Thou correct us;
From the powers of ill protect us,
From all perils us defend.

See Thy guiding hand before us,
Till Thou safely dost restore us,
Love to love and friend to friend.

Human souls with love befriending,
Fit us all for joy unending,
