Spirit of wisdom, turn our eyes
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of wisdom, turn our eyes
From earth and earthly vanities
To heavenly truth and love;
Spirit of understanding true,
Our souls with heavenly light endue
To seek the things above.
2 Spirit of counsel, be our guide;
Teach us, by earthly struggles tried,
Our heavenly crown to win:
Spirit of fortitude, thy power
Be with us in temptation's hour,
To keep us pure from sin.
3 Spirit of knowledge, lead our feet
In Thine own paths, so safe and sweet,
By angel footsteps trod;
Where thou our guardian true shalt be,
Spirit of gentle piety,
To keep us close to God.
4 Through all our life be ever near,
Spirit of god's most holy fear,
In our heart's inmost shrine:
Our souls with awful reverence fill,
To worship His most holy will,
All-righteous and divine.
5 So lead, us, Lord, through peace or strife,
Onward to everlasting life,
To win our high reward:
So may we fight our lifelong fight,
Strong in Thine own unearthly might,
And reign with Christ, our Lord. Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Easter; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Easter; Heavenly Mind; Holy Ghost Our Guide Used With Tune: [Spirit of wisdom, turn our eyes]

Almighty God, I Humbly Ask
Author: J. H. Kuhlmann Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, I humbly ask
That I may know my daily task,
To do Thy holy will.
Be Thou, throughout the journey's length,
O Lord, my never-failing strength,
In days of good or ill.
2 Help me, that I may never shirk,
But always look upon my work
As coming, Lord, from Thee;
And may, in doing well my part,
This holy thought inspire my heart:
Thou, Father, sendest me!
3 Then equal to the noblest strife
Shall be the lot of lowly life,
Which ne'er from duty swerves;
And he, who self has sacrificed,
Is walking in the steps of Christ,
Whose love forever serves. Topics: The Christian Life Service Used With Tune: CHORLEY
