Fill My Heart

Home » Original Songs » Updated Hymns

Description

This great Trinitarian hymn comes from Gadsby's hymnal and does not have an author listed. It could be from the compiler of the second supplement, J C Philpot. As we sing this song we address each member of the Godhead, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, addressing each one with praises and petitions appropriate to His function and role within the trinity. We declare that the Father reigns over all things in majesty from His heavenly throne room, ask the Son to shed His Word in our hearts and in the world, and show us His loving, sympathetic heart. We ask the spirit to work out our faith and fill us with peace - not just any peace, gospel peace.

Holy Father, God of love! / Just and true are all Thy ways,
Throned in majesty above,
Just and true are all Your ways,
Worthy of eternal praise. /

Chorus:
Fill my heart with Your rich grace, / Fill my heart with Thy rich grace,
Then with joy I'll run my race,
Spirit, bring Your holy zeal, / Christ's fair image on me seal,
Jesus' love and worth reveal, / And thy love in him reveal.
Fill my heart, fill my heart. / (new)

Holy Jesus, Lamb of God,
Send Your healing Word abroad; / Send Thy healing Word abroad;
Show how strong and kind You are, / Show how strong and kind Thou art,
Let me see Your loving heart. / Let me see Thy loving heart.

Holy Spirit, quick'ning breath!
Work in us Your precious faith; / Work in us Thy precious faith;
Bless our hearts with gospel peace,
Furnish us with every grace.
