Come, blessed Spirit, source of light
1
Come, blessed Spirit, source of light,
Whose power and grace are unconfined.
Dispel the gloomy shades of night,
The thicker darkness of the mind.
2
To my enlightened eyes display
The glorious truth thy words reveal;
Cause me to run the heavenly way,
Make me delight to do thy will.
3
Thine inward teachings make me know,
The wonders of redeeming love,
The vanity of things below,
And excellence of things above.
4
While through these dubious paths I stray,
Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad;
Show me the dangers of the way,
And guide my feeble steps to God.
