4 Such measures of thy mighty grace,
Grant, Lord, to us, we pray:
That thou may'st be our Comforter
At the last dreadful day.
I SPIRIT of mercy, truth, and love,
O shed thy influence from above;
And still from age to age convey
The wonders of this sacred day.
2 In ev'ry clime, by ev'ry tongue,
Be God's amazing glory sung;
Let all the list'ning earth be taught
The wonders by the Saviour wrought.
3 Blest Comforter and heav'nly guide,
Still with the church of Christ abide;
Still let our souls thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth, and love.
1 COME Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire!
Thou, the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost thy seven-fold gifts impart.
2 Thy blessed unction from above,
Is comfort, life, and fire of love:
Ennoble with perpetual light,
The dullness of our blinded sight.
3 Anoint and cheer our soiled face,
With the abundance of thy grace;
Keep far our foes, give peace at home,
Where thou art guide, no ill can come.
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And thee, of both, to be but one;
That through the ages all along,
Thy praise may wake an endless song.
1 COME Holy Ghost, eternal God!
Proceeding from above;
Both from the Father and the Son,
The God of peace and love.
2 Visit our minds, into our hearts
Thy heav'nly grace inspire;
That truth and godliness we may
Pursue with full desire.
3 Thou art the very Comforter,
In grief, and all distress;
The heav'nly gift of God most high,
No tongue can it express.
4 Thou in thy gifts art manifold;
By these Christ's church doth stand;
In faithful hearts thou writ'st thy law,
The finger of God's hand.
5 According to thy promise Lord!
Pour out abundant grace;
That, through thy help, God's praises may Resound in every place.
1 COME gracious Spirit, Heav'nly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be thou our guardian, thou our guide,
O'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and love thy way;
Plant holy fear in ev'ry heart,
That we from God may ne'er depart.
3 Lead us to holiness, the road-
The narrow road which leads to God;
Bring us to Christ the living way;
Nor let us from him ever stray.
4 Lead us to God our only rest,
To be with him for ever blest:
Lead us to heav'n, that we may share,
Fulness of joy for ever there.
