Author: John Caspar Mattes; Johann Niedling Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #145 (1917) Meter: 10.8.8.8.10 Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God,
In every need Thou bringest aid,
Thou camest forth from God’s great throne,
From God, the Father and the Son;
O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
2 O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God,
Make us to love Thy sacred Word;
The holy flame of love impart,
That charity may warm each heart;
O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
3 O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God,
Increase our faith in our dear Lord;
Unless Thy grace the power should give,
None can believe in Christ and live;
O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
4 O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God,
Enlighten us by Thy blest Word;
Teach us to know the Father’s love,
And His dear Son, Who reigns above:
O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
5 O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God,
By Whom our souls to heaven are led,
Make us to fight so valiantly
That we may reign eternally;
O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
6 O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God,
Forsake us not in death or need.
We'll sing Thy praise and honor Thee
With grateful hearts eternally;
O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
Amen.
