4. Hymn: Holy Spirit, Truth Divine

Holy Spirit, Truth Divine

Author: Samuel Longfellow

Tune: MERCY, by Louis M. Gottschalk

(Vocal)

1. Holy Spirit, Truth Divine, 

    Dawn upon this soul of mine; 

    Word of God, and inward light, 

    Wake my spirit, clear my sight.  

2. Holy Spirit, Love Divine, 

    Glow within this heart of mine; 

    Kindle every high desire; 

    Perish self in Thy pure fire!  

3. Holy Spirit, Power Divine, 

    Fill and nerve this will of mine; 

    By Thee may I strongly live, 

    Bravely bear, and nobly strive. 

4. Holy Spirit, Right Divine, 

    King within my conscience reign; 

    Be my Law, and I shall be 

    Firmly bound, for ever free.  

5. Holy Spirit, Peace Divine, 

    Still this restless heart of mine; 

    Speak to calm this tossing sea, 

    Stayed in Thy tranquillity.  

6. Holy Spirit, Joy Divine, 

    Gladden Thou this heart of mine; 

    In the desert ways I sing, 

   "Spring, O Well, for ever spring." 

6. Hymn: I Look To Thee In Every Need

 I Look To Thee In Every Need

Author: Samuel Longfellow
Tune: O JESU, by J. B. Reimann

(Melody Link)

1. I look to Thee in every need,

   And never look in vain;
    I feel Thy strong and tender love,
   And all is well again:
   The thought of Thee is mightier far
   Than sin and pain and sorrow are.

2. Discouraged in the work of life,
    Disheartened by its load,
    Shamed by its failures or its fears,
    I sink beside the road;
    But let me only think of Thee
    And then new heart springs up in me.

3. Thy calmness bends serene above,
    My restlessness to still;
    Around me flows Thy quickening life,
    To nerve my faltering will:
    Thy presence fills my solitude;
    Thy providence turns all to good.

4. Embosomed deep in Thy dear love,
    Held in Thy law, I stand;
    Thy hand in all things I behold,
    And all things in Thy hand;
    Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
    And turn'st my mourning into praise.
