Heavenly Spirit, All Others Transcending

Heavenly Spir­it

all oth­ers trans­cend­ing

Thou who with Fa­ther and Son dost ab­ide!

Come Thou

our spir­its in uni­ty blend­ing

Come and make rea­dy the heav­en­ly bride!

Calling and ga­ther­ing

and Je­sus de­clar­ing

Building God’s Church

shed­ding light from ab­ove

Come

O Thou Spir­it of God

nev­er tir­ing

Come and in­ter­pret God’s won­der­ful love!

Merciful Je­sus

with love nev­er fail­ing

Sending Thy Spir­it

the pledge ev­er new

That Thy atone­ment for all is avail­ing

Faith ev­er sees that Thy pro­mise is true.

Crowned are Thy serv­ants with heav­en­ly fire

Speaking with hearts and with tongues all aflame:

Heavenly Spir­it

our voic­es in­spire

That we may sing of His glor­ious name!

Heav’nly Con­sol­er

with unc­tion ce­les­ti­al

Heal Thou the wounds of each sin-bur­dened heart!

Strengthen our faith

and with zeal Pen­te­cost­al

Fill our faint souls

and Thy bless­ings im­part!

Create with­in us new hearts and new spir­its;

Lead us in truth

and sus­tain us in woe;

Teach us true faith in the dear Sav­ior’s mer­its

So that at death we Thy pow­er may know!
