Send Thy Spirit, I Beseech Thee

Author: William E. Winks, 1842-? Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5976 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Send Thy Spirit, I beseech Thee, Gracious Lord, send while I pray; Send the Comforter to teach me, Guide me, help me in Thy way. Sinful, wretched, I have wandered Far from Thee in darkest night; Precious time and talents squandered— Lead, O lead me into light. 2. Thou hast heard me; light is breaking, Light I never saw before; Now my soul, with joy awaking, Gropes in fearful gloom no more. O the bliss! my soul, declare it, Say what God has done for thee; Tell it out, let others share it— Christ’s salvation, full and free. 3. Multitudes, whom Thou art seeking, Seek for Thee this very hour; Savior, let them hear Thee speaking, Come with soul-converting power. Lo, He comes—the ransomed own Him; This the song I hear them sing: In my heart I will enthrone Him, Christ, my Savior and my king. Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER
