200. O Spirit of God’s strength and might

1 O, Spirit of God’s strength and might, Create in us new life and light; O, join us all in heart and mind, That access to God’s throne we find Within Thy light! 2 O, may we all united stand By holy tie and sacred band, As members of Christ’s body here, Led by Thy Spirit true, sincere, With one accord. 3 May we in perfect love be found When we Thy table, Lord, surround; Keep soul and body purified; Thy blessings, Lord, be multiplied Upon this feast. 4 Then come into our midst today; Impart Thyself to us, we pray. This cup and loaf are proof and sign Of this, Thy covenant divine In Jesus blood. 5 Anew, Lord, we are bound to Thee Through Thy blest sacrifice, which we Partook, that joined in heart and hand; To Zion’s realm and holy land We journey on. 6 Lord, lead us then by Thy strong hand As pilgrims through this desert land; We are pursued by many foes; Deliver us from all our woes, For we are Thine. 7 To Father, Son, and Spirit praise For help and guidance on our ways! Thou givest power from above, Hast chosen us, through Christ, in love To be Thine own! 8 Our joyful praise we sing to Thee, O, Lord of glorious majesty! Through Jesus Christ to Thee we pray And bring our thanks to Thee today Before Thy throne!
