O faithful God, thanks be to Thee
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O faithful God, thanks be to Thee,
That Thou forgiv'st iniquity,
And helpest me in sin's distress,
And dost my soul and body bless.
2 By servant Thine Thou say'st to me:
"My child, thy sin's forgiven thee!
Depart in peace, and sin no more,
And e'er my pard'ning grace adore."
3 Yea, Lord, we bless the wondrous grace
That granteth us this joyful peace;
It is through Jesus' precious blood
That we enjoy the heavenly good.
4 Now, Lord, us all Thy Spirit give,
Help us in holiness to live;
Preserve to us, till life is spent,
Thy Holy Word and Sacrament.

Creator Spirit, Heavenly Dove
Author: Rhabanus Maurus, 776-856 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Creator Spirit, heav'nly dove Lyrics: 1 Creator Spirit, heav'nly dove,
descend upon us from above;
with graces manifold restore
your creatures as they were before.
2 To you, the Comforter, we cry;
to you, the gift of God most high,
true fount of life, the fire of love,
the soul's anointing from above.
3 In you, with graces sevenfold,
we God's almighty hand behold;
while you with tongues of fire proclaim
to all the world God's holy name.
4 Your light to ev'ry sense impart,
and shed your love in ev'ry heart;
your own unfailing might supply
to strengthen our infirmity.
5 Keep far from us our cruel foe,
and peace from your own hand bestow;
upheld by you, our strength and guide,
no evil can our steps betide.
6 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and you, of both, to be but one;
that through the ages all along
your praise may be our endless song.
7 Praise to your eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Come Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Be all Thy graces now outpoured
On the believer's mind and soul,
To strengthen, save, and make us whole.
2 Lord, by the brightness of Thy light,
Thou in the faith dost men unite
Of every land and every tongue:
This to Thy praise, O Lord, be sung.
3 Thou Strong Defence, Thou holy Light,
Teach us to know our God aright,
And call Him Father from the heart:
The Word of life and truth impart,
4 That we may not love doctrines strange,
Nor e'er to other teachers range,
But Jesus for our Master own,
And put our trust in Him alone.
5 Thou Sacred Ardor, Comfort sweet,
Help us to wait with ready feet
And willing heart at Thy command,
Nor trial fright us from Thy band.
6 Lord, may Thy power prepare each heart,
To our weak nature strength impart,
That as good warriors we may force,
Thro' life and death, to Thee our course! Topics: TheChurch Year Whitsuntide; Holy Ghost Prayed for; Invocation; Strength, prayed for Used With Tune: COME GOD, CREATOR, HOLY GHOST

On Jordan's banks the Herald's cry
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Herald's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh:
Come then and hearken; for he brings
Glad tidings from the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be ev'ry breast from sin!
Make straight the way for God within,
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.
3 For Thou art our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge and our great reward;
Without Thy grace our life must fade,
And wither like a flower decayed.
4 To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Once more upon Thy people shine,
And fill the world with love divine.
5 To Him who left the throne of heaven
To save mankind, all praise be given:
Like praise be to the Father done,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One. Topics: TheChurch Year Advent; Doxologies Used With Tune: COME GOD, CREATOR, HOLY GHOST

A holy unction to us all,
A Fount of life, Fire of love.

Deep in our hearts let love burn bright,
Thou know'st the weakness of our flesh,
O strengthen us with Thy might.
4 Thou with Thy wondrous sevenfold gifts
The finger art of God's right hand;
The Father's word thou sendest swift
On tongues of fire to each land.
5 Drive far from us our wily foe;
Grant us Thy blessed peace within,
That in Thy footsteps we may go,
And shun the dark ways of sin.
6 Teach us the Father well to know,
Likewise His only Son, our Lord;
Thyself to us believing show,
Spirit of both, aye adored!

Who from the dead is risen again;

Both now and ever. Amen. Topics: TheChurch Year Whitsuntide; Doxologies; Holy Ghost Comforter; Holy Ghost Prayed for; Invocation Used With Tune: COME GOD, CREATOR, HOLY GHOST

O Spirit of the living God
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 373 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God,
In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our fallen race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling Word;
Give power and unction from above,
Where’er the joyful sound is heard.
3 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
A sinful world her God to meet;
Breathe Thou abroad like morning air,
Till hearts of stone begin to beat.
4 Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record:
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call Him Lord.
5 God from eternity hath willed,
All flesh shall His salvation see;
So be the Father's love fulfilled,
The Saviour's sufferings crowned thro' Thee. Topics: TheChurch Year Whitsuntide; Holy Ghost Prayed for; Missions Used With Tune: COME GOD, CREATOR, HOLY GHOST
