8 King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesus, my salvation Caused Thy wondrous incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation.

10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me; Shall such grace be vainly brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution.

12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning,

All my shame with anguish owning;
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning!

13 Thou the sinful woman savedst;
Thou the dying thief forgavest;
And to me a hope vouchsafest.

14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying.

15 With Thy favoured sheep O place me, Nor among the goats abase me; But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded,

Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Low I kneel, with heart-submission; See, like ashes, my contrition; Help me in my last condition.

18 Ah, that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning, Man for judgment must prepare him; 19 Spare, O God, in mercy spare him! Lord, all-pitying, Jesus blest, Grant them Thine eternal rest!

Now gently light, a glorious crown,
On every sainted head.

4 And as on Israel's awe-struck ear
The voice exceeding loud,

The trump, that angels quake to hear, Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud;

5 So, when the Spirit of our God

Came down His flock to find,

A voice from heaven was heard abroad,
A rushing mighty wind.

6 It fills the Church of God-it fills

The sinful world around;

Only in stubborn hearts and wills

No place for it is found.

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,
This may be our endless song:
Praise to Thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

"Know

ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"

1 CREATOR Spirit! by whose aid

The world's foundations first were laid,

Come, visit every pious mind,
And pour Thy joys on all mankind;
From sin and sorrow set us free,

And make us temples worthy Thee.

2 O Source of uncreated light,
The Father's promised Paraclete!
Thrice holy Fount! thrice holy Fire!
Our hearts with heavenly love inspire;
Come, and Thy sacred unction bring,
To sanctify us while we sing.

3 Plenteous of grace, descend from high,
Rich in Thy sevenfold energy;

Thou strength of His almighty hand,
Whose power doth heaven and earth command,

Thou hast inspired our hearts with life;
Inspire them now with life divine.

2 Thou art the Comforter, the gift
Of God most high; the fire of love,
The everlasting spring of joy
And holy unction from above.

3 Thy gifts are manifold; Thou writest
God's laws in every faithful heart;
The promise of the Father, Thou
Dost heavenly eloquence impart.

4 Enlighten our dark souls, till they
Thy love, Thy heavenly love embrace;
And since we are by nature frail,
Assist us with Thy saving grace.

5 Drive far from us the mortal foe,
And grant us to have peace within ;

L.M.

That with Thy light and guidance blest,
We may escape the snares of sin.

6 Teach us the Father to confess,
And Son, who from the grave revived;
And with the Father and the Son,
Thee, Holy Ghost, from both derived.
7 With Thee, O Father, therefore may
The Son, who was from death restored,
And sacred Comforter, one God,
To endless ages be adored!

"Darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

1

SPIRIT of God, that moved of old

Upon the waters' darkened face, Come when our faithless hearts are cold, And stir them with an inward grace.

2 Thou that art Power and Peace combined,
All highest Strength, all purest Love,
The rushing of the mighty Wind,
The brooding of the gentle Dove,-

3 Come, give us still Thy powerful aid,
And urge us on, and keep us Thine;
Nor leave the hearts that once were made
Fit temples for Thy grace divine:

4 Nor let us quench Thy sevenfold light;
But still with softest breathings stir
Our wayward souls-and lead us right,
O Holy Ghost, the Comforter!

"Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth."

1

COME, Thou Holy Paraclete,

And from Thy celestial seat
Send Thy light and brilliancy.
2 Father of the poor, draw near;
Giver of all gifts, be here:
Come, the soul's true radiancy.
3 Come, of Comforters the best,
Of the soul the sweetest guest,-
Come in toil refreshingly.

4 Thou in labour rest most sweet,
Thou art shadow from the heat,
Comfort in adversity.

5 0 thou Light, most pure and blest,
Shine within the inmost breast
Of Thy faithful company!

6 Where Thou art not, man hath nought;
Every holy deed and thought
Comes from Thy Divinity.

7 What is soiled, make Thou pure;
What is wounded, work its cure;
What is parched fructify;
8 What is rigid, gently bend;
What is frozen, warmly tend;
Straighten what goes erringly.
9 Fill Thy faithful, who confide
In Thy power to guard and guide,
With Thy sevenfold Mystery.

10 Here Thy grace and virtue send; Grant salvation in the end,

And in heaven felicity.

35

6 O praise the Father; praise the Son; Blest Spirit, praise to Thee;

60.

All praise to God, the Three in One, The One in Three.

Tune-Coblentz, 355. 8,7,8,7,7,7,8,8.

"For the kingdom of God is....righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."

1

HOLY GHOST, dispel our sadness,

Pierce the clouds of sinful night; Come, Thou source of sweetest gladness, Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light. Loving Spirit, God of peace,

Great distributor of grace,

Rest upon this congregation;
Hear, O hear our supplication!

2 From that height which knows no measure,
As a gracious shower descend,
Bringing down the richest treasure
Men can wish, or God can send.
O Thou Glory, shining down
From the Father and the Son,
Grant us Thy illumination!
Rest upon this congregation.

2 Come as the Light: to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe;
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

3 Come as the Fire, and purge our hearts Like sacrificial flame;

Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's name.

4 Come as the Dew, and sweetly bless
This consecrated hour;

May barrenness rejoice to own

Thy fertilizing power.

5 Come as the Dove, and spread Thy wings, The wings of peaceful love;

And let the Church on earth become
Blest as the Church above.

6 Come as the Wind, with rushing sound
And Pentecostal grace;

That all of woman born may see
The glory of Thy face.

7 Spirit Divine! attend our prayers,
Make a lost world Thy home:
Descend with all Thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come.
