Spirit, Strength of All the Weak

lyricist: Thomas Pollock (1836–1896)
Composer: John Gower, 1891

Spirit

strength of all the weak

Giving cour­age to the meek

Teaching fal­ter­ing hopes to speak;

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Spirit

aid­ing all who yearn

More of truth di­vine to learn

And with deep­er love to burn;

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Spirit

Fount of faith and joy

Giving peace with­out al­loy

Hope that no­thing can de­stroy;

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Source of love and light di­vine

With that hal­low­ing grace of Thine

More and more up­on us shine;

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Holy

lov­ing

as Thou art

Come and live with­in our heart

Never from us to de­part;

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

May we soon

from sin set free

Where Thy work may per­fect be

Jesus’ face with rap­ture see:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.
