Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.612

First Line: Thrice-Blessed Spirit ! Giver of salvation,

Thrice-Blessed Spirit ! Giver of salvation,
Purchased by Jesus on the cross of shame ;
Dwell in our hearts ; transform them
with Thy beauty----
Fairest adorning of our Saviour's name.

2 Thy sevenfold grace bestow upon us
freely : ----
Love, deep and full, to God and all mankind ;
Joy in the Lord, 'mid every earthly sorrow ;
Peace, calm and sweet, that guardeth heart and mind.

3 Make us long-suffering 'mid earth's provocations ;
Gentleness give us, when enduring wrong ;
Goodness impart, that we e'en foes
may succour,
Faithfulness grant, to change our toil to song.

4 Meekness bestow, with humble self-
abasement,
And Self-control, through Thy controlling might :
And as we list to every call of duty,
May we do all as in Thy searching sight.

5 Then with the gift of holiness within us ;
We not less human, but made more divine ;
Our lives replete with heaven's
supernal beauty,
Ever declare-----That beauty, Lord, is Thine.
