     1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.(KJV)

1. Come, Holy Ghost, in love 
Shed on us from above 
Thine own bright ray. 
Divinely good Thou art; 
Thy sacred gifts impart 
To gladden each sad heart. 
Oh, come today! 

2. Come, tenderest Friend and best, 
Our most delightful Guest, 
With soothing power. 
Rest which the weary know, 
Shade mid the noontide glow, 
Peace when deep griefs o’erflow, 
Cheer us this hour. 

3. Come, Light serene and still, 
Our inmost bosoms fill, 
Dwell in each breast. 
We know no dawn but Thine; 
Send forth Thy beams divine 
On our dark souls to shine 
And make us blest. 

4. Exalt our low desires, 
Extinguish passion’s fires, 
Heal every wound. 
Our stubborn spirits bend, 
Our icy coldness end, 
Our devious steps attend 
While heavenward bound. 

5. Come, all the faithful bless; 
Let all who Christ confess 
His praise employ. 
Give virtue’s rich reward, 
Victorious death accord 
And, with our glorious Lord, 
Eternal joy.
