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 road
To the hight of thine abode,
Comforter divine!
