Creator Spirit, by whose aid
Author: John Dryden, 1631 - 1700 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #124b (1958) Topics: The Church Year Pentecost - The Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Creator Spirit, by whose aid
The world's foundations first were laid,
Come, visit every pious mind;
Come, pour thy joys on human kind;
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And make thy temples worthy thee.
2 O Source of uncreated light,
The Father's promised Paraclete,
Thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire,
Our hearts with heavenly love inspire;
Come, and thy sacred unction bring
To sanctify us while we sing. A-men.
3 Plenteous of grace, descend from high
Rich in thy seven-fold energy;
Make us eternal truths receive,
And practise all that we believe;
Give us thyself, that we may see
The Father and the Son by thee.
4 Immortal honor, endless fame,
Attend the almighty Father's Name;
The Saviour Son be glorified,
Who for lost man's redemption died;
And equal adoration be,
Eternal Paraclete, to thee.
Amen. Tune Title: MELITA

And make us know and choose thy way;

Nor let us from his pastures stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God.

Fullness of joy for ever there;
Lead us to our final rest,
To be with him for ever blest.

Lighten mine eyes with truth’s celestial fire;

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. A-men.
3 Hast thou not bid me 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 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.

Spirit of God, descend up on my heart
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731 - 1800 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #495a (1958) Topics: The Church Year Pentecost - The Holy Ghost Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
With healing in his wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown tomorrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe his people, too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed,
And he who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig tree neither
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God, the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For, while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice. Languages: English Tune Title: BENTLEY

From whom all came, in whom was all begun;

Thou dost give peace, thy presence maketh right;
Thou with thy favor all things dost enfold,
With thine all-kindness free from harm wilt hold.
3 Eternal glory, all men thee adore,
Who art and shalt be worshipped evermore:
Us whom thou madest, comfort with thy might,
And lead us to enjoy thy heavenly light.
Amen.
