O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now
|
|
| 1. | O Lord, Thou art the Spirit now |
| | Who in our spirit lives; |
| | One spirit have the two become, |
| | Which oneness to us gives. |
| 2. | Thy Spirit with our spirit, Lord, |
| | The witness ever bears |
| | That we the Father's children are |
| | And of God's glory heirs. |
| 3. | 'Tis in our spirit Thee we touch |
| | Thy riches to enjoy, |
| | And as the Spirit Thou dost give |
| | Thyself without alloy. |
| 4. | 'Tis in our spirit we may walk |
| | And follow Thee always, |
| | While, as the Spirit, Thou dost lead |
| | And light impart each day. |
| 5. | In spirit, by Thy Spirit, Lord, |
| | We live and worship Thee; |
| | Thou, in our spirit, thru Thine own |
| | Strengtheneth constantly. |
| 6. | In spirit, with Thy Spirit, Lord, |
| | We offer prayer to Thee, |
| | While, as the Spirit, Thou in us |
| | Groanest unutterably. |
| 7. | We to our spirit would return |
| | And there would contact Thine; |
| | 'Tis in the spirit we may share |
| | Our heritage divine. |
| 8. | What oneness, O my Lord, is this- |
| | Two spirits intertwine! |
| | Thy Spirit in our spirit lives, |
| | And ours abides in Thine! |
