The chancel choir will lift up "Gracious Spirit dwell with me" as our anthem, and the youth handbell will play two songs for musical offering.
The anthem is simple but very flowing and beautiful! I have prayed that we all get filled with the Holy Spirit!!
Here is the text.
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 power 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.
