Spirit of holiness, descend:
Thy people wait for Thee;
Thine ear in kind compassion lend;
Let us Thy mercy see.
Thy light that on our souls hath shone,
Lead us in hope to Thee;
Let us not feel its rays alone,
Alone Thy people be.
O bring our dearest friends to God;
Remember those we love;
Fit them on earth for Thine abode,
Fit them for joys above.
Spirit of holiness, ’tis Thine
To hear our feeble prayer;
Come, for we wait Thy power divine,
Let us Thy mercy share.
words by Samuel F. Smith, 1841

The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Good morning Ellen B.,
I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend so far and that the best is yet to come :). I love how you post Hymns Sunday mornings as they’re all so beautiful and because I wasn’t raised in the church so very few of them are familiar to me, but I love to read the lyrics. Thank you!
Have a blessed Sunday!
Cori

Thanks,
Cori
Thy people wait for Thee;
Oh that we would be found waiting!
Perfect picture for the hymn!!!
What a sight it would be in the spiritual realm for the Spirit of God to descend on God’s people!
