to work, and speak, and think for thee;

my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Glory to God #201 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Gift of the Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar,
by Love’s divine appointing.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
presiding and anointing.
A prophet-woman broke a jar,
the sneers of scorn defying.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.
2 A faithful woman left a tomb
by Love’s divine commission.
She saw; she heard; she preached the Word,
arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel.
She saw; she heard; she preached the Word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten, and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit’s breath, the Spirit’s fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.
4 The Spirit knows; the Spirit calls,
by Love’s divine ordaining,
the friends we need, to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows; the Spirit calls,
from women, men, and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.
Rejoice, and make them welcome! Scripture: 1 Kings 17:8-16 Languages: English Tune Title: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING

Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us
Author: Janie Alford Hymnal: Glory to God #280 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Gift of the Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us;
come with Pentecostal power;
give the church a stronger vision;
help us face each crucial hour.
Built upon a firm foundation,
Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone,
still the church is called to mission
that God's love shall be made known.
2 We would raise our alleluias
for the grace of yesteryears;
for tomorrow's unknown pathway,
hear, O Lord, our humble prayers.
In the church's pilgrim journey
you have led us all the way;
still in presence move before us,
fire by night and cloud by day.
3 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us;
give us words of fire and flame.
Help our feeble lips to praise you,
glorify your holy name.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Three in One: what mystery!
We would sing our loud hosannas
now and through eternity.
Scripture: Psalm 118:22 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER
Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us
Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena; Richard Frederick Littledale Hymnal: Glory to God #282 (2013) Meter: 6.6.11 D Topics: Gift of the Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love Divine;
seek out this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardor glowing.
O Comforter, draw near;
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming.
And let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling.
For none can guess God’s grace,
till Love creates a place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Scripture: Psalm 27:1 Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY
Come Down, O Love Divine

3 O joyful be the passing day
with thoughts as clear as morning’s ray,
with faith like noontide shining bright,
our souls unshadowed by the night.

your image to our heart is born;

our Savior and our God in you. Scripture: Genesis 1:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Hymnal: Glory to God #688 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Gift of the Holy Spirit Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King;
all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind?
I see thy cross; there teach my heart to cling.
O let me seek thee, and O let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh.
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh.
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame;
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE
Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
