Spirit and make us worthy to be called your children. In Christ’s
name we pray. Amen.

ANTHEM Gracious Spirit, Dwell
With Me K. Lee Scott
Gracious Spirit, dwell with me, I
would gracious be;
Help me now thy grace to see, I
would be like thee;
And, with words that help and
heal, thy life would mine reveal;
And, with actions bold and meek,
for Christ, my Savior, speak.
Truthful Spirit, dwell with me, I
would truthful be;
Help me now thy truth to see, I
would be like thee;
And, with wisdom kind and clear,
thy life in mine appear;
And, with actions brotherly,
speak Christ’s sincerity.
Holy Spirit, dwell with me, I
would holy be;
Show thy mercy tenderly, make me
more like thee;
Separate from sin, I would and
cherish all things good,
And whatever I can be give him
who gave me thee.
Mighty Spirit, dwell with me, I
would mighty be;
Help me now thy pow’r to see, I
would be like thee;
‘Gainst all weapons hell can
wield, be thou my strength and shield;
Let thy word my weapon be, Lord,
thine the victory.
