Gracious Spirit, Dove divine!

Author: John Stocker Appears in 488 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Dove Divine! Let Thy light within me shine; All my guilty fears remove, Fill me with Thy heavenly love. 2 Speak Thy pardoning grace to me, Set the burdened sinner free; Lead me to the Lamb of God, Wash me in His precious blood. 3 Life and peace to me impart; Seal salvation on my heart; Breathe Thyself into my breast, Earnest of immortal rest. 4 Let me never from Thee stray, Keep me in the narrow way: Fill my soul with joy divine, Keep me, Lord, for ever Thine.

Safe upon the billowy deep

Author: Henry Coppée Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safe upon the billowy deep, Loving Lord, Thy servants keep; Helpless, trusting pilgrims they, Guard them on their watery way. 2 In the morning fill their sails, 'Mid the dark send favoring gales; If their sky be overcast, Calm the waves, and still the blast. 3 Let Thy sunshine guide by day; Send at eve the starry ray; Through the watches of the night, Be Thou, Lord, their shining light. 4 Thus, as hour by hour rolls by Watch them with Thy sleepless eye: Guide with Thine almighty hand Safe unto the haven-land. 5 And at last, life's voyage o'er, Take us to the heavenly shore, Safe in port, to dwell with Thee Where there shall be "no more sea." Amen. Topics: Travellers by Sea or Land Used With Tune: [Safe upon the billowy deep]
