Holy Spirit, Hear Us (Parker)

 

VERSE 1

Holy Spirit! hear us; help us while we sing;

Breathe into the music of the praise we bring.

Holy Spirit! prompt us when we kneel to pray;

Nearer come and teach us what we ought to say.

 

VERSE 2

Holy Spirit! shine Thou on the Book we read;

Gild its holy pages with the light we need.

Holy Spirit! give us each a lowly mind;

Make us more like Jesus, gentle, pure and kind.

 

VERSE 3

Holy Spirit! brighten little deeds of toil;

And our playful pastimes let no folly spoil.

Holy Spirit! keep us safe from sins which lie

Hidden by some pleasure from our youthful eye.

 

VERSE 4

Holy Spirit! help us daily by Thy might,

What is wrong to conquer and to choose the right.

Holy Spirit! hear us, help us while we sing;

Breathe into the music of the praise we bring.
