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 place
Let there be light!
2
Thou, whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray;
And where the gospel's day
Sheds 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!
