16778. Heavenly Spirit, All Others Transcending

1 Heavenly Spir­it, all oth­ers trans­cend­ing,
Thou who with Fa­ther and Son dost ab­ide!
Come Thou, our spir­its in uni­ty blend­ing,
Come and make rea­dy the heav­en­ly bride!
Calling and ga­ther­ing, and Je­sus de­clar­ing,
Building God’s Church, shed­ding light from ab­ove,
Come, O Thou Spir­it of God, nev­er tir­ing,
Come and in­ter­pret God’s won­der­ful love!

2 Merciful Je­sus, with love nev­er fail­ing,
Sending Thy Spir­it, the pledge ev­er new,
That Thy atone­ment for all is avail­ing,
Faith ev­er sees that Thy pro­mise is true.
Crowned are Thy serv­ants with heav­en­ly fire,
Speaking with hearts and with tongues all aflame:
Heavenly Spir­it, our voic­es in­spire
That we may sing of His glor­ious name!

3 Heav’nly Con­sol­er, with unc­tion ce­les­ti­al,
Heal Thou the wounds of each sin-bur­dened heart!
Strengthen our faith, and with zeal Pen­te­cost­al
Fill our faint souls, and Thy bless­ings im­part!
Create with­in us new hearts and new spir­its;
Lead us in truth, and sus­tain us in woe;
Teach us true faith in the dear Sav­ior’s mer­its,
So that at death we Thy pow­er may know!
