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 displayThe 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.
