Holy Spirit, God of light!
Come, and on our inner sight
Pour Thy bright and heavenly ray!
Father of the lowly! come;
Here, Great Giver! to Thy home,
Sunshine of our hearts, for aye!
Inmost Comforter and best!
Of our souls the dearest guest,
Sweetly all their thirst allay;
In our toils be our retreat;
Be our shadow in the heat;
Come and wipe our tears away.
Thou Light, all pure and blest!
Fill with joy this weary breast.
Turning darkness into day.
For without Thee naught we find
Pure or strong in human kind,
Naught that has not gone astray.
Wash us from the stains of sin,
Gently soften all within,
Wounded spirits heal and stay.
What is hard and stubborn bend,
What is feeble soothe and tend.
What is erring gently sway.
To Thy faithful servants give.
Taught by Thee to trust and live,
Sevenfold blessing from this day;
Make our title clear, we pray,
When we drop this mortal clay;
Then, — give us joy for aye!
