Holy Spirit, Ever Dwelling
Holy Spirit, ever dwelling
1.Holy Spirit, ever dwelling
in the holiest realms of light
Holy Spirit, ever brooding
o'er a world of gloom and blight
Holy Spirit, ever raising
earthbound souls to glory high
Living, life-imparting Spirit
you we praise and magnify.
2.Holy Spirit, ever breathing
on the church the breath of life
Holy Spirit, ever striving
through your people's ceaseless strife
Holy Spirit, ever forming
in the church the mind of Christ
In our worship we will praise you
for your fruit and gifts unpriced.
3.Holy Spirit, ever working
through the church's ministry
Quick'ning, strength'ning, and absolving
setting captive sinners free
Holy Spirit, ever binding
age to age and soul to soul
In community unending
you we worship and extol.
