Holy Spirit, lamp of light
1
Holy Spirit, lamp of light,Shine upon our nature's night;Give thy blessed inward sight,Comforter divine!
2
We are sinful; cleanse us, Lord:We are faint; thy strength afford:Lost,—until by thee restored,Comforter divine!
3
Like the dew, thy peace distill;Guide, subdue our wayward will,Things of Christ unfolding still,Comforter divine!
4
In us "Abba Father," cry,—Earnest of our rest on high,Hope of immortality,Comforter divine!
5
Search for us the depths of God;Bear us up the starry roadTo the hight of thine abode,Comforter divine!
