Holy Spirit, Lord of Glory

lyricist: Robert Baynes, 1874

Holy Spir­it

Lord of glo­ry

Look on us Thy flock to­day

Meekly kneel­ing at Thy foot­stool

For Thy se­ven­fold gifts we pray;

Guide us all our earth­ly jour­ney

In the true and nar­row way.

Foes on ev­ery hand are round us

And our hearts are weak and frail;

Gird us with Thy heav­en­ly ar­mor;

Never let us yield or quail;

Give us vic­to­ry in the strug­gle

When the hosts of sin as­sail.

Blessèd Je­sus

draw Thou near us

As be­fore Thy cross we bow;

Help us to be true and faith­ful

Seal our sac­ra­ment­al vow;

We Thy sol­diers are

and se­rvants;

Hear our so­lemn pro­mise now.

Lead us by Thy gui­ding pre­sence

Through the waste with dan­ger rife;

Feed us with the heav­en­ly man­na

That we faint not in the strife;

Slake our wea­ry spir­its’ thirst­ing

From the liv­ing well of life.

Looking ev­er un­to Je­sus

Leaning on His staff and rod;

May we fol­low in His foot­steps

Tread the path that He has trod

Till we dwell with Him for ev­er

In the para­dise of God!
