Hymns about Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and is sent by the Son. He inspired the prophets and apostles, convicts the world of sin, regenerates the dead in trespasses, and indwells every true believer. At Pentecost He was poured out in power upon the church, and He continues to distribute gifts, produce fruit, and advance the gospel to the ends of the earth. Scripture also names Him the Comforter; hymns and devotion often join this doctrine to the Comfort of the Spirit, the Guidance of the Spirit, and the work of Sanctification.

Hymns concerning the Holy Spirit ask for His presence, illumination, and purifying fire. They celebrate the Spirit's role in prayer, preaching, holiness, and unity among the saints. Congregations singing such songs confess dependence upon divine power for every spiritual work and refuse to trust in fleshly strength. These hymns help the church honour the Spirit without separating Him from the Word He has given or from the Christ He glorifies. They invite believers to open hearts to His teaching while testing all things by Scripture.

Use these songs at Pentecost, confirmation or consecration services, and ordinary worship that seeks the Spirit's help. In private devotion they foster yieldedness, prayerfulness, and hunger for holiness. Search this selection for hymns that worship the Holy Spirit in truth and reverence.
