Of All the Spirit's Gifts to Me
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: The Holy Spirit Gifts of the Spirit; God Present in the Holy Spirit Gifts of the Spirit Lyrics: 1 Of all the Spirit's gifts to me,
I pray that I may never cease
to take and treasure most these three:
love, joy, and peace.
2 The Spirit shows me love's the root
of every gift sent from above,
of every flower, of every fruit,
that God is love.
3 The Spirit shows if I possess
a love no evil can destroy;
however great is my distress,
then this is joy.
4 Though what's ahead is mystery,
and life itself is ours on lease,
each day the Spirit says to me:
"Go forth in peace!"
5 We go in peace, but made aware
that, in a needy world like this,
our clearest purpose is to share
love, joy, and peace. Scripture: Galatians 5:22 Used With Tune: ALMSGIVING

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: The Holy Spirit Gifts of the Spirit; God Present in the Holy Spirit Gifts of the 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 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.
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. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

Though I May Speak with Bravest Fire

and have the gift to all inspire,

our spirits long to be made whole.

by this we worship, and are freed. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Used With Tune: GIFT OF LOVE

Lord, You Give the Great Commission

asking that the world around us
share your children's liberty;

for the work of ministry.

all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society;
with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
for the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."

hold in mind eternity;

for the work of ministry. Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
