GRACIOUS SPIRIT, DWELL WITH ME
"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit." Acts 2:38
Words: Thomas Toke Lynch, 1855.
Music: "Redhead," Richard Redhead, 1853.
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 Savior speak.
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.
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!
