Spirit of truth and love
1
Spirit of truth and love,Life-giving holy Dove!Speed forth thy flight;Move o'er the waters' face,Bearing the lamp of grace,And in earth's darkest placeLet there be light!
2
Thou, whose almighty wordChaos and darkness heard,And took their flight,Hear us, we humbly pray;And where the gospel's daySheds not its glorious ray,Let there be light!
3
Thou, who didst come to bring,On thy redeeming wing,Healing and sight,Health to the sick and blind,Sight to the darkened mind,O now, to all mankind,Let there be light!
