Words

Great Spirit, by whose mighty powerAll creatures live and move,On us thy benediction shower;Inspire our souls with love.

Hail, Source of light! arise and shine;Darkness and doubt dispel;Give peace and joy, for we are thine;In us forever dwell.

From death to life our spirits raise,And full redemption bring;New tongues impart to speak the praiseOf Christ, our God and King.

Thine inward witness bear, unknownTo all the world beside;Exulting then, we feel and ownOur Saviour glorified.
