Introductory pages - New Creation Teaching Ministry

Blessèd Holy Spirit, reign in me today,
I would be like Jesus, pure in every way.
Guide me, teach me ever what I ought to know,
Fill me with Thy fullness till I overflow!
2. When Christ our Lord ascended to the Father
This Gift He sent within our hearts to live;
ʼTis He who teaches, He who guides and keeps us,
And daily He abiding peace will give:
3. O, how I long to know Thy flooding fullness!
O, how I long to feel Thy power grow!
O, take away the sins which mar and hinder,
O, sanctify, and make me white as snow:

1. Spirit of faith, come down,
Reveal the things of God;
And make to us the Godhead known,
And witness with the blood:
ʼTis Thine the blood to apply,
And give us eyes to see,
Who did for every sinner die
Hath surely died for me.
2. No man can truly say
That Jesus is the Lord,
Unless Thou take the veil away,
And breathe the living word;
Then, only then, we feel
Our interest in His blood,
And cry, with joy unspeakable,
ʻThou art my Lord, my God!ʼ

3. O that the world might know
The all-atoning Lamb!
Spirit of faith, descend, and show
The virtue of His name;
The grace which all may find,
The saving power impart;
And testify to all mankind,
And speak in every heart.
4. Inspire the living faith,
Which whosoeʼer receives,
The witness in himself he hath,
And consciously believes;
That faith that conquers all,
And doth the mountain move,
And saves whoeʼer on Jesus call,
And perfects them in love.
1. There was a day when God sent man His Spirit,
Christʼs throne gift poured upon us from above,
The Son of Man ascended to the glory
Empowered us to know and share His love:
Mighty Holy Spirit, come on us today,
Who, devoid of power, walked not in Christʼs way;
Fill us with dynamic to proclaim the Son,
And announce to sinners freedom He has won.
