200. O Holy Ghost, Thou Source of Might

1. O Holy Ghost, Thou Source of might,
Who works in us new life and light,
Let us united in one mind
The way unto God's throne now find
By Thy great light!

2. O keep us that, united, we
In bonds of sacred love may be,
As members, truly bound alone
In Christ's own body now as one,
All moved by Thee.

3. O let us stand in love's accord
Around the table of the Lord;
Let soul and body holy be
That God may bless abundantly
The Sacred Feast.

4. Come, Lord, into our midst, and thus
In Spirit give Thyself to us
E'en in this holy bread and wine
That seal the covenant divine,
Made in Thy blood.

5. We are once more at one with Thee
By this Communion, so that we,
In Spirit one, and in one mind,
Our way to Zion's gate may find
As pilgrims true.

6. Lord, guide us with Thy gentle hand
In safety through this foreign land!
Though here the foes of every soul
Pursue us to our very goal, -
Yet we are Thine!

7. To Father, Son, and Spirit praise
For help and guidance on our ways!
Thou givest power from above,
Hast chosen us, through Christ, in love
To be Thine own!

8. Our joyful praise we sing to Thee,
O Lord of glorious majesty!
Through Jesus Christ to Thee we pray
And bring our thanks to Thee today
Before Thy throne!
