Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1895) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, taught by you, we covet most, of your gifts at Pentecost, holy, heavenly love. 2 Faith that mountains could remove, tongues of earth or heaven above, knowledge, all things, empty prove without heavenly love. 3 Though I as a martyr bleed, give my goods the poor to feed, all is vain, if love I need; therefore give me love. 4 Love is kind, and suffers long; love is meek, and thinks no wrong, love than death itself more strong; therefore give us love. 5 Prophecy will fade away, melting in the light of day; love will ever with us stay; therefore give us love. 6 Faith and hope and love we see, joining hand in hand, agree; but the greatest of the three, and the best, is love.

Bear us up the starry road To the height of Thine abode, Comforter divine. Topics: The Godhead The Holy Spirit; Cleansing; Holy Spirit Enlightening; Holy Spirit Offices Used With Tune: CHARITY
