Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

1. Sweetly may the blessed Spirit On each faithful bosom shine; May we every grace inherit, Lord, we seek a boon divine.

2. Since Thou tak’st delight in giving, We would gladly ask and have; Gratefully each gift receiving, In His name who died to save.

3. We would seek His gracious favor, Which is better far than gold; May His Gospel prove the savor Of a happiness untold.

4. Passing honors, transient pleasures, Boasting joys forever flown; May we seek to lay up treasures Where decay shall ne’er be known.

5. Savior, to assist our weakness, Let Thy grace sufficient be; Bless with wisdom and with meekness, Till we full salvation see.
