| JOSEPH | 7 7 7 6 | 1657 Scheffler's Hetlige Seelunlust | | AGNES | 7 7 7 6 | | | | 1. Spirit blest, Who art adored
With the Father and the Word,
One eternal God and Lord:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
2. Holy Spirt, heavenly Dove,
Dew descending from above,
Breath of life and fire of love:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
3. Spirit, guiding us aright,
Spirit, making darkness light,
Spirit of resistless might:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
4. Thou by Whom the virgin bore
Him Whom Heav’n and earth adore,
Sent our nature to restore:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
5. Thou Whom Jesus, from His throne,
Gave to cheer and help His own,
That they might not be alone:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
6. Thou whose sound apostles heard,
thou whose power their spirit stirred,
giving them thy living word:
hear us, Holy Spirit.
7. Thou Whose grace the Church doth fill,
Showing her God’s perfect will,
Making Jesus present still:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
8. All Thy gracious gifts bestow,
Gifts of wisdom God to know,
Gifts of strength to meet the foe:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
9. All our evil passions kill,
Bend aright our stubborn will;
Though we grieve Thee, patient still:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
10. Come to strengthen all the weak,
Give Thy courage to the meek,
Teach our falt’ring tongues to speak:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
11. Come, to raise us when we fall:
And, when snares our souls enthral,
Lead us back with gentle call:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
12. Come, to aid the souls who yearn
More of truth divine to learn,
And with deeper love to burn:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
13. Keep us in the narrow way,
warn us when we go astray,
plead within us when we pray:
hear us, Holy Spirit.
14. Holy, loving, as Thou art,
Come, and live within our heart;
Nevermore from us depart:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
