Come, God, Creator, Holy Ghost

Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, God, Creator, Holy Ghost, And visit Thou the souls of men; Fill them with graces, as Thou dost, Thy creatures make pure again. 2 For Comforter Thy name we call, Sweet Gift of God most high above, A holy Unction to us all, A living Fount, Fire, and Love. 3 Our minds enlighten and refresh, Deep in our hearts let love burn bright; Thou know'st the weakness of our flesh; O strengthen us with Thy might. 4 Thou with Thy wondrous sevenfold gifts, The Finger art of God's right hand; The Father's Word Thou sendest swift On tongues of fire to each land. 5 Drive far from us our wily foe, Grant us Thy blessed peace within, That in Thy footsteps we may go, And shun the dark ways of sin. 6 Teach us to know the Father well And Jesus Christ, His Son, our Lord, That in our hearts true faith may dwell, Spirit of both, aye adored! 7 To God the Father, God the Son Who from the dead is risen again, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be evermore praise. Amen. Topics: Pentecost

Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #3 (1918) Meter: 7.8 Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at Thy Word We are gathered all to hear Thee; Let our hearts and souls be stirred Now to seek and love and fear Thee; By Thy teachings sweet and holy Drawn from earth to love Thee solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight Lie in deepest darkness shrouded, Till Thy Spirit breaks our night With the beams of truth unclouded; Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, Thyself impart! Light of light, from God proceeding, Open Thou our ears and heart, Help us by Thy Spirit’s pleading, Hear the cry Thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise to Thee and adoration! Grant that we Thy Word may trust, And obtain true consolation, While we here below must wander, Till we sing Thy praises yonder. Topics: The Beginning of Worship Languages: English
