God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: Church Book #350 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Whit-Sunday Lyrics: 1 God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear?
Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
And still my soul in slumbers lie?
2 God calling yet!--shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still; can I delay?
3 God calling yet!--and shall He knock,
And I my heart the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His Spirit grieve?
4 God calling yet!--and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still:--my heart, awake!
5 Ah, yield Him all: in Him confide:
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven,
And let the spirit rise to heaven?
6 God calling yet!--I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart! Languages: English Tune Title: TERSTEEGEN
God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Thou, who camest from above
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: Church Book #243 (1890) Topics: Whit-Sunday Lyrics: 1 Thou, who camest from above,
Bringing light, and shedding love,
Teaching Thine all-perfect way,
Giving gifts to men to-day:
2 Thou who changest our lost state,
Making us regenerate,
Help us evermore to be
Faithful subjects unto Thee.
3 Where Thou art not, none can do
What is holy, just and true;
Those whose hearts Thy wisdom leads
Think good thoughts and do good deeds.
4 We have often grieved Thee sore;
Never let us grieve Thee more.
Thou the feeble canst protect,
Thou the wandering canst direct.
5 We are dark--be Thou our Light;
We are blind--be Thou our Sight.
Be our Comfort in distress,
Guide us through the wilderness.
6 To the blessed Three in One,
To the Father, and the Son,
And the Holy Ghost, arise
Praise from all below the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD, 47
Thou, who camest from above
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
Author: Charlemagne, d. 814; Unknown Hymnal: Church Book #244 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Whit-Sunday Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.
2 Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight.
3 Anoint our heart and cheer our face
With the abundance of Thy grace.
Keep far our foes; give peace at home:
Where Thou art Guide, no ill can come.
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee of Both, to be but One:
That through the ages all along
Thy praise may be our endless song!
Languages: English Tune Title: ST. OSWALD
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfil
Author: Edward Osler Hymnal: Church Book #279 (1890) Topics: Whit-Sunday Lyrics: 1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
And do on earth our Father's will
As angels do above:
Still walk in Christ, the living Way,
With all Thy children, and obey
The law of Christian love.
2 So may we join Thy Name to bless,
Thy grace adore, Thy power confess,
From sin and strife to flee:
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same,
A crown of life with Thee.
3 Spirit of life, of love and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase,
Thy gracious help supply:
To each of us the blessing give
In Christian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die. Languages: English Tune Title: CHAPEL ROYAL
May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfil
Let songs of praises fill the sky!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #179 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Whit-Sunday Lyrics: 1 Let songs of praises fill the sky!
Christ, our ascended Lord,
Sends down His Spirit, from on high,
According to His Word.
2 The Spirit, by His heavenly breath,
New life creates within;
He quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin.
3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes,
And to our heart reveals;
Our bodies He His temple makes,
And our redemption seals.
4 Come, Holy Spirit, from above,
With Thy celestial fire;
Come, and, with flames of zeal and love,
Our hearts and tongues inspire.

And sing the wonders of Thy grace:
Thy power conveys our blessings down
From God the Father and the Son.
2 Enlighten'd by Thy heavenly ray,
Our shades and darkness turn to day;
Thine inward teachings make us know
Our danger and our refuge too.
3 Thy glorious power works within,
And breaks the chains of reigning sin,
Do our imperious lusts subdue,
And form our wretched hearts anew.
4 The troubled conscience knows Thy voice,
Thy cheering words awake our joys;
Thy words allay the stormy wind,
And calm the surges of the mind. Languages: English

With light and comfort from above,
Be Thou our guardian, Thou our guide;
O'er ev'ry thought and step preside.
2 Conduct us safe, conduct us far
From ev'ry sin and hurtful snare:
Lead to Thy word, that rules must give,
And teach us lessons how to live.
3 The light of truth to us display,
That we may know and love Thy way;
Plant holy fear in ev'ry heart,
That we from Thee may ne'er depart.
4 Lead us to righteousness, the road
That we must take, to dwell with God;
Lead us to heaven, the seat of bliss,
Where pleasure in perfection is. Languages: English

With all Thy quick'ning powers,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 See, how we grovel here below,
Fond of these earthly toys;
Our souls, how heavily they go
To reach eternal joys!
3 Dear Lord! and shall we always live
At this poor, dying rate?
Our love so cold, so faint to Thee,
And Thine to us so great?
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quick'ning powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours. Languages: English

And lead me to Thy blest abode.

A living spark of heavenly fire?
Oh, kindle now the sacred flame,
And make me burn with pure desire.
3 A brighter faith and hope impart,
And let me now the Saviour see;
Oh, soothe and cheer my burden'd heart,
And bid my spirit rest in Thee. Languages: English

Eternal Spirit, source of light
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #184 (1870) Topics: Whit-Sunday Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, source of light,
Enliv'ning, consecrating fire,
Descend, and, with celestial heat,
Our dull, our frozen hearts inspire;
Our souls refine, our dross consume;
Come, condescending Spirit, come!
2 In our cold breasts, oh, strike a spark
Of that pure flame which seraphs feel;
Nor let us wander in the dark,
Nor lie benumb'd and stupid still.
Come, vivifying Spirit, come!
And make our hearts Thy constant home.
3 Let pure devotion's fervors rise!
Let ev'ry pious passion glow!
Oh, let the raptures of the skies
Kindle in our cold hearts below.
Come, purifying Spirit, come,
And make our souls Thy constant home! Languages: English
Eternal Spirit, source of light
