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. THE HOLY SPIRIT. 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; 13 Thou the sinful woman savedst; 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! 30 THE HOLY SPIRIT. d d Now gently light, a glorious crown, 4 And as on Israel's awe-struck ear 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, 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 4 Teach us to know the Father, Son, 55. "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 make us temples worthy Thee. 2 O Source of uncreated light, 3 Plenteous of grace, descend from high, Thou strength of His almighty hand, Thou hast inspired our hearts with life; 2 Thou art the Comforter, the gift 3 Thy gifts are manifold; Thou writest 4 Enlighten our dark souls, till they 5 Drive far from us the mortal foe, L.M. That with Thy light and guidance blest, 6 Teach us the Father to confess, 57. Tune-Commandments, 6. L.M. "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, 3 Come, give us still Thy powerful aid, 4 Nor let us quench Thy sevenfold light; "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 4 Thou in labour rest most sweet, 5 0 thou Light, most pure and blest, 6 Where Thou art not, man hath nought; 7 What is soiled, make Thou pure; 10 Here Thy grace and virtue send; Grant salvation in the end, And in heaven felicity. THE HOLY SPIRIT. 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; 2 From that height which knows no measure, 2 Come as the Light: to us reveal 3 Come as the Fire, and purge our hearts Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul an offering be 4 Come as the Dew, and sweetly bless 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 6 Come as the Wind, with rushing sound That all of woman born may see 7 Spirit Divine! attend our prayers, C.M. |
