Text: | Spirit of mercy, truth and love |
Tune: | GERMANY (Walton) |
Composer: | Ludwig von Beethoven |
1 Spirit of mercy, truth, and love,
O shed Thine influence from above:
And still from age to age convey
The wonders of this sacred day!
2 In ev'ry clime, by ev'ry tongue,
Be God's surpassing glory sung;
Let all the list'ning earth be taught
The wonders by our Savior wrought.
3 Unfailing Comfort, heav'nly Guide,
Still o'er Thy holy Church preside;
Still let mankind Thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth, and love.
