Holy Spirit, Truth divine - Samuel Longfellow

Holy Spirit, Truth divine,

Dawn upon this soul of mine;

Word of God and inward light

Wake my spirit, clear my sight.

Holy Spirit, Love divine,

Glow within this heart of mine;

Kindle every high desire;

Perish self in Thy pure fire.

Holy Spirit, Power divine

Fill and nerve this will of mine;

Grant that I may strongly live,

Bravely bear, and nobly strive.

Holy Spirit, Right divine,

King within my conscience reign;

Be my Lord, and I shall be

Firmly bound, forever free.

Holy Spirit, Peace divine,

Still this restless heart of mine;

Speak to calm this tossing sea,

Stayed in Thy tranquillity.

Holy Spirit, Joy divine,

Gladden Thou this heart of mine;

In the desert ways I sing,

“Spring, O Well, forever spring.”

Now incline me to repent,

Let me now my sins lament,

Now my foul revolt deplore,

Weep, believe, and sin no more.
