'Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me' (hymn) written by Thomas T Lynch

Gracious Spirit, dwell with me:

I myself would gracious be;

and with words that help and heal

would thy life in mine reveal;

and with actions bold and meek

would for Christ my Saviour speak.

Truthful Spirit, dwell with me:

I myself would truthful be;

and with wisdom kind and clear

let thy life in mine appear;

and with actions brotherly

speak my Lord's sincerrty.

Mighty Spirit, dwell with me:

I myself would mighty be;

mighty so as to prevail

where unaided man must fail;

ever by a mighty hope

pressing on and bearing up.

Holy Spirit, dwell with me:

I myself would holy be;

separate from sin, I would

choose and cherish all things good,

and whatever I can be,

give to him who gave me thee!
