spirit of mercy truth and love

spirit of mercy, truth and love,
o shed thine influence from above,
and still from age to age convey
the wonders of this sacred day.

in every clime, by every tongue,
be god’s amazing glory sung;
let all the listening earth be taught
the wonders by our savior wrought.

unfailing comfort, heavenly guide,
still o’er thy holy church preside;
still let mankind thy blessings prove,
spirit of mercy, truth and love.
