Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Author: Bp. C. Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #76a (1894) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Taught by Thee we covet most
Of Thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love.
2 Love is kind, and suffers long,
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
Love than death itself more strong;
Therefore, give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore, give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;
Love in heaven will shine more bright;
Therefore, give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see,
Joining hand in hand, agree,
But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.
6 From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing,
Shed on us, who to Thee sing,
Holy, heavenly love.
Amen.
