O Spirit of Life

lyricist: Johann Niedling, 1651
Composer: Cologne, Germany, 1623

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God

In ev­ery need Thou bring­est aid

Thou cam­est forth from God’s great throne

From God

the Fa­ther and the Son;

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God.

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God

Make us to love Thy sac­red Word;

The ho­ly flame of love im­part

That char­ity may warm each heart;

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God.

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God

Increase our faith in our dear Lord;

Unless Thy grace the pow­er should give

None can be­lieve in Christ and live;

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God.

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God

Enlighten us by Thy blest Word;

Teach us to know the Fa­ther’s love

And His dear Son

who reigns ab­ove:

O Spir­it of life

O Spir­it of God.
