Come Holy Ghost, Eternal God

Author: Rhabanus Maurus Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: Come, Holy Ghost, eternal God Lyrics: 1. Come, Holy Ghost, eternal God, Proceeding from above, Both from the Father and the Son, The God of peace and love; 2. Visit our minds, into our hearts Thy heav’nly grace inspire; That truth and godliness we may Pursue with full desire. 3. Thou in Thy gifts art manifold; By them Christ’s Church doth stand; In faithful hearts Thou writ’st Thy law, The finger of God’s hand. 4. According to Thy promise, Lord, Thou givest speech with grace, That through Thy help God’s praises may Resound in every place. 5. O Holy Ghost, into our minds Send down Thy heav’nly light; Kindle our hearts with fervent zeal To serve God day and night. 6. Our weakness strengthen and confirm, For, Lord, Thou know’st us frail; That neither devil, world, nor flesh, Against us may prevail. 7. Put back our enemy from us, And help us to obtain Peace in our hearts with God and man— The best, the truest gain; 8. Of strife and of dissension Dissolve, O Lord, the bands, And knit the knots of peace and love Throughout all Christian lands. 9. Grant us the grace that we may know The Father of all might, That we of His belovèd Son May gain the blissful sight; 10. And that we may with perfect faith Ever acknowledge Thee, The Spirit of Father, and of Son, One God in Persons Three. 11. To God the Father laud and praise, And to His blessèd Son, And to the Holy Spirit of grace, Co-equal Three in One.

Come, Mighty Spirit

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals First Line: Come, mighty Spirit, penetrate Lyrics: 1 Come, mighty Spirit, penetrate This heart and soul of mine; And my whole being, with Thy grace, Pervade, O Life divine. 2 As this clear air surrounds the earth, Thy grace around me roll; As the fresh light pervades the air, So pierce and fill my soul. 3 As, from these clouds, drops down in love The precious summer rain, So, from Thyself, pour down the flood That freshens all again. 4 As these fair flowers exhale their scent In gladness at our feet, So from Thyself let fragrance breathe, More heav’nly and more sweet. 5 Thus life within our lifeless hearts Shall make its glad abode; And we shall shine in beauteous light, Filled with the light of God.

Rawnsley, 1851-1920 Appears in 30 hymnals First Line: Father, whose will is life and good Lyrics: 1 Father, whose will if life and good For all of mortal breath, Bind strong the bond of brotherhood Of those who fight with death. 2 Empower the hands and hearts and wills Of friends both near and far, Who battle with the body's ills, And wage Thy holy war. 3 Where'er they heal the maimed and blind, Let love of Christ attend: Proclaim the good Physician's mind, And prove the Saviour friend. 4 O Father, look from heaven and bless, Where'er Thy servants be, Their works of pure unselfishness, Made consecrate to Thee! Amen. Topics: Missions Medical Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL
