Analyze: O Holy Spirit, Enter In

by Schmolck, Benjamin (1672-1737), tr. Winkworth, Catherine (1827-1878)

Song Lyrics

1. O Ho- ly Spir- it, en- ter in, And in our hearts Thy work be- gin Thy Tem- ple deign to make us; Sun of the soul, Thou Light di- vine, A- round and in us bright- ly shine, To joy and glad- ness wake us. That we to Thee Tru- ly liv- ing, To Thee giv- ing Prayer un- ceas- ing May in love be still in- creas- ing.

2. Give to Thy Word im- press- ive pow'r That in our hearts, from this good hour, As fire it may be glow- ing; That we con- fess the Fa- ther, Son, And Thee, the Spir- it, Three in One, Thy glo- ry ev- er show- ing. Stay Thou, guide now Our souls ev- er that they nev- er May for- sake Thee. But by faith their re- fuge make Thee.

3. Thou foun- tain whence all wis- dom flows Which God on pi- ous hearts be- stows, Grant us Thy con- so- la- tion. That in our pure faith's un- i- ty We faith- ful wit- ness- es may be Of grace that brings sal- va- tion. Hear us, cheer us, By Thy teach- ing; let our preach- ing, And our la- bor Praise Thee, Lord, and serve our neigh- bor.

4. Left to our- selves, we shall but stray; O lead us on the nar- row way, With wis- est coun- sel guide us; And give us stead- fast- ness, that we May ev- er faith- ful prove to Thee, What- ev- er woes be- tide us; Lord now Heal Thou All hearts bro- ken, And be- to- ken Thou art near us, Whom we trust to light and cheer us.

5. Thy heav'n- ly strength sus- tain our heart That we may act the val- iant part With Thee as our Re- li- ance; Be Thou our Re- fuge and our Shield That we may nev- er quit the field, But stand in bold de- fi- ance. De- scend, de- fend From all err- ors And earth's ter- rors Thy sal- va- tion Be our con- stant con- so- la- tion.
