Spirit So Holy

Spirit so holy, Spirit of love

Representative Text

1 Spirit so holy,
Spirit of love,
Spirit so gentle,
Sent from above;
Priceless possession,
Purchase of blood,
Good beyond measure,
Gift of our Lord.

2 Spirit of wisdom,
Spirit of light,
Spirit of knowledge,
Showing the right;
Guide us and teach us,
Fully to know,
All that in Jesus,
God would bestow.

3 Spirit so humble,
Spirit so meek,
Spirit so kindly,
Helping the weak;
Work in, and through us,
Make us to be,
Lowly and loving,
Yielding to Thee.

4 Spirit of power,
Spirit of God,
Spirit of burning,
Work through Thy word;
Search us and sift us,
Spare not the dross,
Show us that self life,
Ends at the cross.
