O Blessed Holy Spirit { O Blessed Holy Spirit O BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT-Katharine E. Purvis O Blessed Holy Spirit } O blessed Holy Spirit, Thou comforter divine! In Christ is all my merit, Through Him Thy pow'r is mine, Thy gracious witness scaling The purchase of His blood, Thy holy light reveaing The hidden things of God. O sacred cloud distilling, The dew of heaven's grace! With brightness Thou art filling, My soul's most secret place. All anxious care subduing, All restlessness and strife, With strength divine enduing, My weak, inconstant life. O dove of peace, decending, With comfort in Thy wings! Above me Thou art bending, Sweet joy Thy presence brings. Sent by my Lord, I claim Thee, O precious heav'nly guest; My friend, my guide I name Thee, My soul's abiding rest. Chorus O blessed Holy Spirit, My strength and comfort be, I know I have no merit, But Jesus died for me.
