Tune: | SONG 13 |
Composer: | Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625 |
1 Holy Spirit, truth divine,
dawn upon this soul of mine;
Word of God, and inward light,
wake my spirit, clear my sight.
2 Holy Spirit, love divine,
glow within this heart of mine;
kindle every high desire,
perish self in thy pure fire.
3 Holy Spirit, power divine,
fill and nerve this will of mine;
by thy strength I strongly live,
bravely serve and gladly give.
4 Holy Spirit, right divine,
reign within this soul of mine;
be my law and I shall be
firmly bound, forever free.
5 Holy Spirit, peace divine,
still this restless heart of mine;
speak to calm this tossing sea,
stayed in thy tranquillity.
6 Holy Spirit, joy divine,
gladden now this heart of mine;
in the desert ways I sing,
"Spring, O well, forever spring."
