Descend, celestial Spirit, down,
To quicken these inactive powers;
Direct our feet in paths unknown,
Reveal thy love and kindle ours.
Rebellious lusts do thou control,
Dissolve our chains and set us free,
From Satan’s arbitrary rule,
And sin’s destructive tyranny.
With courage, Lord, our hearts inspire,
With faith and hope and ardent zeal;
‘Tis thine to fill with strong desire,
To comfort, sanctify, and seal.
Thy gifts of grace may we receive,
And then the fruits of grace return;
And if through sin, thy love we grieve,
Cause us with anguish deep to mourn.
