Spirit of God within Me
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 7.6.8.7.8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God within me,
Possess my human frame;
Fan the dull embers of my heart,
Stir up the living flame:
Strive till that image Adam lost,
New minted and restored,
In shining splendor brightly bears
The likeness of the Lord.
2 Spirit of truth within me,
Possess my thought and mind;
Lighten anew the inward eye
By Satan rendered blind:
Shine on the words that wisdom speaks
And grant me pow'r to see
The truth made known to all in Christ,
And in that truth be free.
3 Spirit of love within me,
Possess my hands and heart;
Break through the bonds of self-concern
That seeks to stand apart:
Grant me the love that suffers long,
That hopes, believes and bears;
The love fulfilled in sacrifice,
That cares as Jesus cares.
4 Spirit of life within me,
Possess this life of mine;
Come as the wind of heaven's breath,
Come as the fire divine!
Spirit of Christ, the living Lord,
Reign in this house of clay,
Till from its dust with Christ I rise
To everlasting day.

How good to those who seek!
