Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost. XXI.

Gracious Spi-rit, Holy Ghost, Taught by Thee we covet most

Love is kind, and suffers long,
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
Love than death itself more strong;
Therefore give us love.
Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore give us love.
Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;

Love in Heav'n will shine more bright;

Therefore give us love.

Faith and hope and love we see

Joining hand in hand agree;
But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.

From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing
Shed on us, who to Thee sing,
Holy, heavenly love. Amen.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed.

XXII.

Hail to the Lord's A nointed, Great Dav-id's great-er

Son!

Hail, in the time ap- point- ed, His reign on earth be

To Thee we bring, Who art the Lord,
Our selves to be Thy throne;
Let every thought, and deed, and word
Thy pure dominion own.

Life-giving Spirit, o'er us move,

As on the formless deep;

Give life and order, light and love,

Where now is death or sleep.

Great Gift of our ascended King,

His saving truth reveal;

Our tongues inspire His praise to sing,

Our hearts His love to feel.

True Wind of Heav'n, from south or north,

For joy or chastening, blow;

The garden-spices shall spring forth

If Thou wilt bid them flow.

O Holy Ghost, of sevenfold might,
All graces come from Thee;

Grant us to know and serve aright
One God in Persons Three.

Amen.
