12 Come to raise us when we fall, Hear us, Holy Spirit. 13 Come, to strengthen all the weak, Teach our faltering tongues to speak; 14 Come to aid the souls who yearn Hear us, Holy Spirit. 15 Keep us in the narrow way, 16 Holy, loving, as thou art, 549 1 Come, and live within our heart; Hear us, Holy Spirit. Amen. I am the light of the world: he that followeth me LIGHT, that from the dark abyss To share thy beauty, share thy bliss Come to us: come. 2 Light, that dost o'er all things reign, Come to us: come. 3 Light of men, that left the skies, Light that look'd through human eyes, And died in darkness as man dies, Come to us: come. 4 Light that stoop'd to rise and raise, Come to us: come. 5 Light that makest manifest, Beautifiest, hallowest, Light in thy joyous strength at rest, Come to us: come. 6 Leave us not to say we see, While we shut our eyes to thee, Who knockest very patiently: Enter, and come. 7 All our good is thine alone; All our evil is our own; O drive it from before thy throne,— Come to us: come. 8 Works of darkness put away; 9 10 To walk in light and wait for day, And thee to come. We have done great wrong to thee, O make our life one song to thee. Come to us: come. Come in all the majesty Of thy great humility; Come, the whole world cries out to thee, Come to us: come. 550 Christ loved the Church, and gave himself for it. 1 JESU, with thy church abide, We beseech thee, hear us. 2 Arms of love around her throw, Shield her safe from every foe, Calm her in the time of woe: We beseech thee, near us. 3 Keep her life and doctrine pure, Help her, patient to endure, Trusting in thy promise sure: We beseech thee, hear us. 4 Be thou with her all the days, May she, safe from error's ways, Toil for thine eternal praise: We beseech thee, hear us. 5 May her voice be ever clear, Warning of a judgment near, Telling of a Saviour dear: We beseech thee, hear us. 6 All her ruin'd works repair, Build again thy temple fair, Manifest thy presence there : We beseech thee, hear us. 7 All her fetter'd powers release, 8 All her questions reconcile, We beseech thee, hear us. 9 May she one in doctrine be, One in truth and charity, Winning all to faith in thee: We beseech thee, hear us. 10 May she guide the poor and blind, Seek the lost until she find, And the broken-hearted bind : We beseech thee, hear us. 11 Save her love from growing cold, Make her watchmen strong and bold, Fence her round-thy peaceful fold: We beseech thee, hear us. 12 May her priests thy people feed, Shepherds of the flock indeed, Ready, where they call, to lead : We beseech thee, hear us. 13 May they live the truths they know, And a holy pattern show, As before thy flock they go: We beseech thee, hear us. 14 May the grace of him who died, And the Father's love abide, And the Spirit ever guide: We beseech thee, hear us. 15 All her evil purge away, We beseech thee, hear us. 16 Help her in her time of fast, 17 May she then all glorious be, 18 Fit her all thy joy to share, We beseech thee, hear us.
