Gracious Spirit, dwell with me

Author: Thomas Toke Lynch (1818-71) Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would gracious be, And with words that help and heal Would thy life in mine reveal; And with actions bold and meek Would for Christ, my Saviour, speak. 2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would truthful be, And with wisdom kind and clear Let thy life in mine appear; And with actions brotherly Speak my Lord’s sincerity. 3 Tender Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would tender be; Tender in my love for men, Wooing them to God again; With compassion pure and sweet Lead the lost to Jesus’ feet. 4 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would mighty be, Mighty so as to prevail Where unaided man must fail; Ever by a mighty hope Pressing on and bearing up. 5 Holy Spirit, dwell with me; I myself would holy be, Separate from sin, I would Choose and cherish all things good; And whatever I can be Give to him who gave me thee.

Are you still longing for a full salvation?

No one has ever trusted unavailing, No one has claimed of his love and been denied. Topics: The gospel Invitation

Heavy laden, sore oppressed, Love can soothe thy troubled breast, In the Saviour find thy rest, At the cross there’s room. 3 Thoughtless sinner, come today, At the cross there’s room; Hark! the bride and Spirit say, At the cross there’s room. Now a living fountain see Opened there for thee and me, Rich and poor, for bond and free, At the cross there’s room. 4 Blessèd thought! For every one At the cross there’s room; Love’s atoning work is done, At the cross there’s room. Streams of boundless mercy flow Free to all who thither go, O that all the world might know, At the cross there’s room. Topics: The gospel Invitation
