Gracious Spirit, Dove Divine
John Stocker
MERCY (7.7.7.7.)
Louis M. Gottschalk
(1829-1869)
Gra-cious Spir-it, Dove di-vine,
Let Thy light with-in me shine;
All my guilt-y fears re-move,
Fill me full of heaven and love.
Speak Thy par-doning grace to me,
Set the bur-dened sin-ner free;
Lead me to the Lamb of God,
Wash me in His pre-cious blood.
Life and peace to me im-part;
Seal sal-va-tion on my heart;
Breathe Thy-self in-to my breast,
Ear-nest of im-mor-tal rest.
Let me nev-er from Thee stray,
Keep me in the nar-row way;
Fill my soul with joy di-vine,
Keep me, Lord, for-ev-er Thine.
