LORD God the Holy Ghost, In this accepted hour, As on the day of Pentecost, Descend in all Thy power. |
|||
2 | We meet with one accord In our appointed place, And wait the promise of our Lord, The Spirit of all grace. |
||
3 | Like mighty rushing wind Upon the waves beneath, Move with one impulse every mind, One soul, one feeling breathe. |
||
4 | The young, the old, inspire With wisdom from above; And give us hearts and tongues of fire, To pray and praise and love. |
||
5 | Spirit of Light, explore And chase our gloom away With lustre shining more and more Unto the perfect day. |
||
6 | Spirit of Truth, be Thou, In life and death, our guide: O Spirit of adoption, now May we be sanctified. |

James Montgomery, 1771-1854 |
