Author: Timothy Rees, 1874-1939 Hymnal: Christian Worship #592 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, ever dwelling
in the holiest realms of light,
Holy Spirit, ever brooding
o'er a world of gloom and night,
Holy Spirit, ever raising
those of earth to thrones on high,
living, life-imparting Spirit,
you we praise and magnify.
2 Holy Spirit, ever living
as the Church's very life,
Holy Spirit, ever striving
through us in a ceaseless strife,
Holy Spirit, ever forming
in the Church the mind of Christ,
you we praise with endless worship
for your gracious gifts unpriced.
3 Holy Spirit, ever working
through the Church's ministry,
teaching, strength'ning, and absolving,
setting captive sinners free,
Holy Spirit, ever binding
age to age and soul to soul
in communion never ending,
you we worship and extol. Topics: Work of the Spirit Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE
Holy Spirit, Ever Dwelling
