7 Come, to strengthen all the weak;
Give Thy courage to the meek;
Teach our faltering tongues to speak:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

8 Come, to aid the souls who yearn
More of truth Divine to learn,
And with deeper love to burn:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

9 Keep us in the narrow way;
Warn us when we go astray;
Plead within us when we pray:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

mf 10 Holy, loving, as Thou art,
All Thy sevenfold gifts impart ;
Nevermore from us depart:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

'I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh.'

SPIRIT of the living God,

In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Where'er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.

2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above,
Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
Confusion order, in Thy path;
Souls without strength inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare

All the round earth her God to meet;
Breathe Thou abroad like morning air
Till hearts of stone begin to beat.

f 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,

Till every kindred call Him Lord.

Also the following:

244 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost.
429 Thou whose almighty word.
430 O Lord our God, arise.

448 Pour out Thy Spirit from on high.
489 The glory of the spring how sweet.

The entrance of Thy words giveth light.'
THE Spirit breathes upon the word
And brings the truth to sight;

Precepts and promises afford

A sanctifying light.

f 2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun :

It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none.

m3 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;

His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set.

f 4 Let everlasting thanks be Thine
For such a bright display

As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.

5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love,

Till glory breaks upon my view
In brighter worlds above.

'Ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life.'
