Holy Spirit, fount of blessing
1
Holy Spirit, fount of blessing,Ever watchful, ever kind;Thy celestial aid possessing,Prisoned souls deliverance find;—
2
Seal of truth, and bond of union,Source of light, and flame of love,Symbol of divine communion,In the olive-bearing dove.
3
Heavenly guide from paths of error,Comforter of minds distressed;When the billows swell with terror,Pointing to an ark of rest;—
4
Promised pledge! Eternal Spirit!Greater than all gifts below,—May our hearts thy grace inherit;May our lips thy glories show.
