Author: Thomas Toke Lynch Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #236 (2010) Meter: 12.12.13.13 First Line: Gracious Spirit, dwell with me, I would gracious be Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, dwell with me,
I would gracious be;
help me know Thy grace to see,
I would be like Thee;
and, with words that help and heal,
Thy life would mine reveal;
and, with actions bold and meek,
for Christ my Savior speak.
2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me,
I would truthful be;
help me now Thy truth to see,
I would be like Thee;
and, with wisdom kind and clear,
Thy life in mine appear;
and, with actions, lovingly,
speak Christ's sincerity.
3 Holy Spirit, dwell with me,
I would holy be;
show Thy mercy tenderly,
make me more like Thee;
separate from sin I would
and cherish all things good,
and whatever I can be
give Him who gave me Thee.
4 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me,
I would mighty be;
help me now Thy power to see,
I would be like Thee;
'gainst all weapons hell can wield,
be Thou my strength and shield;
let Thy word my weapon be,
Lord, Thine the victory.
