LSB #650 "Holy Spirit, Ever Dwelling"

Biblical citations in the hymnal:  Genesis 1:1-2, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, Ephesians 3:7-9

Genesis 1:1-2:  "1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters."

1 Corinthians 12:12-14:  "12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.  13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body - Jews or Greeks, slaves or free - and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

"14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many."

Ephesians 3:7-9:  "7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power.  8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things"

Holy Spirit, ever dwelling

In the holiest realms of light;

Holy Spirit, ever brooding

O'er a world of gloom and night;

Holy Spirit, ever raising

Those of earth to thrones on high;

Living, life-imparting Spirit,

You we praise and magnify.

Holy Spirit, ever living

As the Church's very life;

Holy Spirit, ever striving

Through us in a ceaseless strife;

Holy Spirit, ever forming

In the Church the mind of Christ:

You we praise with endless worship

For Your gifts and fruits unpriced.

Holy Spirit, ever working

Through the Church's ministry;

Quick'ning, strength'ning, and absolving,

Setting captive sinners free;

Holy Spirit, ever binding

Age to age and soul to soul

In communion never ending,

You we worship and extol.
