Holy Spirit, Give Us

A child’s prayer from the special and general prayers in the Revised Edition of Little Folded Hands.

Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.

Holy Spirit, give us
Each a lowly mind;
Make us more like Jesus,
Gentle, pure, and kind.

Holy Spirit, brighten
Little deeds of toil,
And our playful pastimes
Let no folly spoil.

Holy Spirit, help us
Daily by Thy might
What is wrong to conquer
And to choose the right. Amen.
