For Your Gift of God the Spirit

Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For your gift of God the Spirit, power to make our lives anew, pledge of life and hope of glory, Savior, we would worship you. Crowning gift of resurrection sent from your ascended throne, fullness of the very Godhead, come to make your life our own. 2 He who in creation's dawning brooded on the lifeless deep, still across our nature's darkness moves to wake our souls from sleep, moves to stir, to draw, to quicken, thrusts us through with sense of sin; brings to birth and seals and fills us-- saving Advocate within. 3 He, himself the living Author, wakes to life the sacred Word, reads with us its holy pages and reveals our risen Lord. He it is who works within us, teaching rebel hearts to pray, he whose holy intercessions rise for us both night and day. 4 He, the mighty God, indwells us; his to strengthen, help, empower; his to overcome the Tempter-- ours to call in danger's hour. In his strength we dare to battle all the raging hosts of sin; and by him alone we conquer foes without and foes within. 5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit in our hearts may rule today; grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered, work in us his sovereign way. Fill us with your holy fullness, God the Father, Spirit, Son; in us, through us, then, forever, shall your perfect will be done.

Winter reigns o'er many a region

Author: Leonhard Meisser; Joseph Augustus Seiss Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Winter reigns o’er many a region, Many a seed-field fallow lies; When, O Lord, shall come the spring-time, With its quickening energies? When shall this long night be ended? When the morning dawn appear? When shall drought give place to freshness? When these deserts bloom with cheer? 2 Lord, Thy Church is ever praying: Now her anxious yearnings hear; Speed the triumphs of Thy Kingdom, Spread its victories far and near. Own the work, Thy grace attend it, Which we undertake for Thee; Let a holy love inflame us; Kindle zeal and fervency. 3 That Thy fields be rightly cultured, Send the laborers that we need, Men to light the heavy darkness, Sow the wastes with precious seed. Then send down the gentle showers, Make Thy gracious sunlight shine, That each field may joy with blessing, Bringing forth the fruits divine. 4 By the breezes of Thy Spirit, Fan all deadness into life; Bless the seeds to Thee upspringing, Keep each plant from blast and strife. And, ye toilers in this seeding, Know the promise God hath given: Glorious crowns await the faithful, And eternal gains in heaven. Amen. Topics: The Church Foreign Missions Used With Tune: BETHANY
