Text: | Spirit of mercy, truth and love |
Tune: | BIRLING |
Harmonizer: | Geoffrey Shaw, 1879-1943 |
1 Spirit of mercy, truth, and love,
Shed thy blest influence from above,
And still from age to age convey
The wonders of this sacred day.
2 In every clime, by every tongue,
Be God's eternal praises sung;
Let all the listening earth be taught
The acts our great Redeemer wrought.
3 Unfailing comfort, heavenly guide,
Still o'er thy holy Church preside;
Still let mankind thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth and love.
