Lord God, the Holy Ghost

Lord God

the Ho­ly Ghost

In this ac­cept­ed hour

As on the day of Pen­te­cost

Descend in all Thy pow­er.

We meet with one ac­cord

In our ap­point­ed place

And wait the pro­mise of our Lord

The Spir­it of all grace.

Like migh­ty rush­ing wind

Upon the waves be­neath

Move with one im­pulse ev­ery mind;

One soul

one feel­ing breathe.

The young

the old in­spire

With wis­dom from ab­ove;

And give us hearts and tongues of fire

To pray

and praise

and love.

Spirit of light

ex­plore

And chase our gloom away

With lus­ter shin­ing more and more

Unto the per­fect day.

Spirit of truth

be Thou

In life and death

our guide;

O Spir­it of ad­opt­ion

now

May we be sanc­ti­fied!
