GRH 221 Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me

(1)
Gracious Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would gracious be;
And, with words that help and heal,
Would Thy life in mine reveal;
And, with actions bold and meek, would for Christ my Saviour speak.

(2)
Truthful Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would truthful be;
And with wisdom kind and clear
Let Thy life in mine appear;
And with actions brotherly speak my Lord’s sincerity.

(3)
Mighty Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would mighty be;
Mighty so as to prevail,
Where unaided man must fail;
Ever by a mighty hope, pressing on and bearing up.

(4)
Holy Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would holy be;
Separate from sin, I would
Choose and cherish all things good;
And whatever I can be, Give to Him who gave me Thee.
