Verse 1

O heavenly Fount of light and love,
Adoring praise to Thee we pay;
Pour down, blest Spirit, from above
Fresh streams of grace this day.

Verse 2

Thou, o’er the Everlasting Son
Hovering with wings of living light,
Anointedst Israel’s Champion
To fight the awful fight.

Verse 3

At Pentecost Thou camest down,
As sound of rushing wind went by,
With tongues of heavenly fire to crown
That glorious company.

Verse 4

Thou on each new-born child of grace
Dost now in hidden power descend,
To strengthen for life’s weary race,
To comfort and defend.

Verse 5

Thou in each meek and lowly heart,
With streams of living waters bright,
Sweet Fount of strength and gladness art,
Fresh Spring of life and light.

Verse 6

Thee, Spirit blest, All-Holy One,
In songs of triumph we adore,
For, with the Father and the Son,
Thou reignest evermore.

This Day, at Thy Creating Word

William W. How, 1854, 1871·Modern

Verse 1

This day, at Thy creating word,
First o’er the earth the light was poured:
O Lord, this day upon us shine,
And fill our souls with light Divine.

Verse 2

This day the Lord, for sinners slain,
In might victorious rose again:
O Jesus, may we raised be
From death of sin to life in Thee.

Verse 3

This day the Holy Spirit came
With fiery tongues of cloven flame:
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day
With grace to hear, and grace to pray.

Verse 4

O day of light, and life, and grace,
From earthly toils sweet resting-place!
Thy hallowed hours, best gift of Love,
Give we again to God above.

Verse 5

All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee,
Whom, with the Spirit, we adore
For ever and for evermore.

Verse 1

Spirit Divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come.

Verse 2

Come as the light; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe;
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

Verse 3

Come as the fire; and purge our hearts,
Like sacrificial flame:
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer’s Name.

Verse 4

Come as the dove; and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let Thy Church on earth become
Blest as Thy Church above.

Verse 5

Spirit Divine, attend our prayers;
Make a lost world Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come.
