The Spirit of the Lord
Lyrics
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
Because he hath anointed me
To preach the Gospel to the poor
He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted
To preach deliverance to the captives
And recovering of sight to the blind
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord
To give unto them that mourn
A garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness
That they might be called trees of righteousness
The planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud
And as the garden causeth the
Things that are sown in it to spring forth
So the Lord God will cause
Righteousness and praise to
Spring forth before all nations
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
Because He hath anointed me
To preach the Gospel
