Come, Holy Ghost, in might
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #56b (1920) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Come, Holy Ghost, in might,
And make our weakness strong;
Renew our valour in the fight
Against the power of wrong.
57
Come, Holy Ghost, restore
The zeal our lives have lost;
And on our fainting spirits pour
The grace of Pentecost.
Come, Holy Ghost, in light,
Our hearts and minds to cheer,
And pierce the darkness of our night
Of ignorance and fear.
Come, Holy Ghost, in love,
Reveal the Love divine
That stooped to earth from heaven above,
In sympathy benign.
And while the ages run,
Our praise shall rise to Thee;
And to the Father and the Son,
One God, eternally.
Languages: English
Come, Holy Ghost, in might
Like the beams that from the sun
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #57 (1920) Meter: 7.7.7.3 Lyrics:
Like the beams that from the sun
Pierce the blackness of the night,
Come to us, O Promised One,
Spirit, Light.
Pure as saints that have attained,
Clad in brightness for attire,
Cleanse our souls by vileness stained,
Spirit, Fire.
58
Stronger than uplifted arm
In the tumult of the fight,
Shield our timid souls from harm,
Spirit, Might.
Soothing as the calm that falls
When the winds and billows cease,
Comfort us when fear appals,
Spirit, Peace.
Come, O Gracious Spirit, come,
We would have Thee for our guest;
Make our souls Thy chosen home,
Spirit, Blest.
Languages: English
Like the beams that from the sun
The promise which the Saviour made
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #58 (1920) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
The promise which the Saviour made
When His disciples sorrowed most,
That He would send to comfort them
The life-inspiring Holy Ghost,
Found its fulfilment when they met
Upon the hallowed Pentecost.
And ever through the linkèd years,
From then till now the Gift is sure;
And they who sorrow for their sin,
Or trial's bitter pangs endure,
And they who mourn, and they who weep,
Find in the Gift a peace secure.
59
Vainly we mourn our absent Lord,
If Thou, the Comforter be near;
For it is Thine to take of His,
And make us feel that He is here;
We still may joy when others grieve,
And hope when threatening clouds appear.
Come, Holy Ghost, with us reside,
Let Thy sweet presence fill our soul;
And make us strong to fight and win;
And all our wayward wills control;
To give us comfort when we weep,
And bind our hearts, and make them whole.
Languages: English
The promise which the Saviour made
Come, ye people, come, adore Him
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #59 (1920) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics:
Come, ye people, come, adore Him,
God in Holy Trinity;
God the Father, Son, and Spirit,
Ever blessed Unity.
Thine the glory, God Almighty,
To the Son and Spirit given,
Ere upon the world's creation
Dawned the new-born light of heaven.
Holy, holy, we adore Thee,
One in power, in nature one;
60
God the Father, God the Spirit,
God the Co-Eternal Son.
By the Son the wide creation
Rose where chaos held its sway;
By the Spirit, God Almighty
Swept eternal night away.
Son, the Father's love revealing,
Son, through Whom the Spirit came,
Blessed Godhead! endless glory
Be to Thine exalted name.
Languages: English
Come, ye people, come, adore Him
O Holy Spirit, one in power
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #60 (1920) Meter: 7.8.7.8 Lyrics:
O Holy Spirit, one in power,
With God Who reigns in highest heaven;
Come to our waiting souls this hour,
And let Thy heavenly aid be given.
Our souls are dark, for sin is there;
We strive, and find our striving vain;
For night afflicts us everywhere,
And all is loss, and nought is gain.
But Thou art Light of radiant glow,
And Thou canst fill our souls with cheer;
Come then, Thy glorious Gift bestow,
And with Thy presence bless us here.
Then, far from us shall night depart,--
Our sin, and sadness, doubt, and pain;
61
And comfort shall sustain the heart,
And peace our warring lusts restrain.
O, One with Christ, Thou Spirit blest,
As one with God Thou truly art;
Great Triune! be Thy power confest,
And Thou enthroned in every heart.
Languages: English
O Holy Spirit, one in power
Thou Spirit of Almighty God
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #61 (1920) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
Thou Spirit of Almighty God,
Of Whom the Christ in promise spoke,
When sorrow cast its gloom abroad,
And throbbing hearts the stillness broke;
They know Thy power who sorrow most,
Come then to soothe, O Holy Ghost.
Thou cam'st to fill the vacant place,
Lest heedless souls should Christ forget,
To show His deeds and words of grace,
When He had risen from Olivet;
To close the links by parting riven,
And bind their souls to His, in heaven.
Thy power is in the souls of men
To burn their dross with heavenly flame,
To rouse the faint to life again,
The erring from their ways reclaim;
Thy calm the troubled soul pervades,
And night before Thy rising fades.
62
Almighty God, Thou Holy Ghost,
Our hearts refresh, our souls inspire
Come as Thou cam'st at Pentecost,
As rending wind, or tongues of fire;
And when our lips are moved to praise,
Thy grace shall be their theme always.
Languages: English
Thou Spirit of Almighty God
O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Light
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #62 (1920) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Light,
Remove our ignorance, we pray,
And shine upon the 'wildering night,
That leads our darkened souls astray.
O Holy Ghost, convince of sin,
And in our blindness let us see
The fleshly power that lurks within,
The loves that turn our hearts from Thee.
O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Life,
Revive our souls with needed strength,
That we may stand amid earth's strife,
And win the victory at length.
O Holy Ghost, Thy comfort bring,
That, when the heart with sorrow sighs,
Our lips the praise of Christ may sing,
And tears no longer cloud our eyes.
O Holy Ghost, our faith renew,
Our doubting minds with hope inspire;
And may Thy love our hate subdue,
And warm our souls with heavenly fire.

O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Light
Ah, the trembling of that day
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #63 (1920) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics:
Ah, the trembling of that day,
Ah, the terror, and the dread;
When the heavens are rolled away,
And the Judge of quick and dead
In the judgement shall not fail;--
Who shall not his sin bewail?
Spare me, Lord, Thy creature spare,
When to judgement I am borne;
I have sinned, but, Lord forbear,
Every sin I humbly mourn;
Thou alone art sinless! Save:
Grant the mercy that I crave.
Yea, my tears refuse to flow,
True repentance I have none;--
Were I contrite, I should know
All the evil I have done;
In my blindness mercy give,
Speak the word and I shall live.
Languages: English
Ah, the trembling of that day
I cannot lift mine eyes
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #64 (1920) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Lyrics:
I cannot lift mine eyes,
For O, my sin is great,--
High as the hills that rise
Up, up to heaven's gate;--
I cannot lift mine eyes,
So great my sin, so great.
But I would smite my breast,
And bow me at the Cross;
And well He knows the rest,
My sense of shame, and loss;
Yea, I would smite my breast,
And bow me at His Cross.
Mayhap when I have told
The burden of my sin,
He'll make my spirit bold,
And speak, and soothe, and win;--
All this when I have told
The burden of my sin.
Then shall I lift mine eyes,
And see the sin removed,
And in the cloudless skies
Behold the Well-Beloved;--
Then shall I lift mine eyes,
And see my sin removed.
Languages: English
I cannot lift mine eyes
My heart was sad because of sin
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHRC #65a (1920) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics:
My heart was sad because of sin,
And lo, the night came down,
And dark without, and dark within
I shrank before Thy frown;
Now pity, Lord, my woeful state,
And save me in Thy mercy great.
I lift mine eyes to where the Christ
My awful burden bore,
And see the offering that sufficed,--
His stripes and anguish sore;
The riven side, the thorny crown,
The wounds from which His blood flowed down.
O Love no loving heart e'er gave!
Like light from heaven it flows;
And now for Him Who died to save,
My love responsive glows;
And joy resounds my heart within,
That once was sad because of sin.
