1 Holy Spirit, source of love,
who, to us, came from above,
gifts of blessing to bestow
on your waiting church below:
once again in love draw near
to your servants gathered here.
2 Give them light your truth to see,
strength to serve you joyfully,
daily power to conquer sin,
patient faith the crown to win;
shield them from temptation's breath,
keep them faithful unto death.
3 When the sacred vow is made,
when the hands are on them laid,
come in this most solemn hour
with your sevenfold gifts of power;
come, O blessed Spirit, come,
make each eager heart your home.
