Hymn 266: Lord God the Holy Ghost

Emi Olorun mi

  1. Lord God the Holy Ghost,
    In this accepted hour,
    As on the day of Pentecost,
    Descend in all thy power.
    We meet with one accord
    In our appointed place,
    And wait the promise of our Lord,
    The Spirit of all grace.

  2. Like mighty rushing wind
    Upon the waves beneath,
    Move with one impulse every mind,
    One soul, one feeling, breathe.
    The young, the old inspire
    With wisdom from above;
    And give us hearts and tongues of fire,
    To pray and praise and love.

  3. Spirit of light, explore,
    And chase our gloom away,
    With luster shining more and more
    Unto the perfect day.
    Spirit of truth, be thou
    In life and death our Guide;
    O Spirit of adoption, now
    May we be sanctified. Amin.
