      6-7s.
      1 GRACIOUS Spirit, dwell with me!
      I myself would gracious be,
      And with words that help and heal
      Would thy life in mine reveal;
      And with actions bold and meek
      Would for Christ my Saviour speak.

      2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me!
      I myself would truthful be,
      And with wisdom kind and clear
      Let thy life in mine appear;
      And with actions brotherly
      Speak my Lord's sincerity.

      3 Tender Spirit, dwell with me!
      I myself would tender be;
      Shut my heart up like a flower
      At temptation's darksome hour,
      Open it when shines the sun,
      And his love by fragrance own.

      4 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me!
      I myself would mighty be,
      Mighty so as to prevail
      Where unaided man must fail,
      Ever by a mighty hope
      Pressing on, and bearing up.

      5 Holy Spirit, dwell with me!
      I myself would holy be,
      Separate from sin, I would
      Choose, and cherish all things good;
      And whatever I can be
      Give to him who gave me thee.
