| 1 | Holy Spirit! Come in Might! From Thy dwelling-place of light |
2 | Light immortal! Light divine! Visit Thou these hearts of Thine, |
|||
| Thy pure beaming radiance give. | And our inmost being fill. | |||||
| Come, Thou helper of the poor, Come with treasures which endure, |
If Thou take Thy grace away Nothing pure in us will stay, |
|||||
| Come, Thou Light of all that live! | All our good is turned to ill. | |||||
| 3 | Heal our wounds, our
strength renew On our dryness pour Thy dew, |
4 | On Thine own, who
evermore Thee confess and Thee adore, |
|||
| Wash our stains of sin away; | In Thy sevenfold gifts descend: | |||||
| Bend the stubborn
heart and will, Melt the frozen, warm the chill, |
Give them comfort
when they die; Give them life with Thee on high; |
|||||
| Guide the steps that go astray. | Give them joys that never end. Amen. | |||||
