And in our hearts take up thy rest;
Spirit of grace, with heav'nly aid
Come to the souls whom thou has made.
2 Thou art 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,
Thy 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 thine 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 thou wilt be our Guide.
6 Show us the Father, Holy One,
Help us to know th' Eternal Son;
Spirit Divine, for evermore
Thee will we trust and thee adore.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:22 Used With Tune: GRACE CHURCH Text Sources: Anon., Latin, 10th century; Tr. cento
