Holy Spirit, Hear Us (Mohr)

Holy Spir­it

hear us

On this sac­red day;

Come to us with bless­ing

Come with us to stay.

Come as once Thou cam­est

To the faith­ful few

Patiently await­ing

Jesus’ pro­mise true.

Up to Heav’n as­cend­ing

Our dear Lord has gone;

Yet His lit­tle child­ren

Leaves He not alone.

To His bless­èd pro­mise

Now in faith we cling.

Comforter

most ho­ly

Spread o’er us Thy wing.

Lighten Thou our dark­ness

Be Thy­self our light;

Strengthen Thou our weak­ness

Spirit of all might.

Spirit of adopt­ion

Make us ov­er­flow

With Thy se­ven­fold bless­ing

And in grace to grow.

Into Christ bap­tiz­èd

Grant that we may be

Day and night

dear Spir­it

Perfected by Thee!
