1 Spirit of Love Divine,
With Thee we plead;
O blessed Comforter,
Thy grace we need;
Come to each waiting heart,
Strength to the weak impart;
Holy and pure Thou art;
O Spirit, come.

2 Spirit of Love Divine,
Light of our way;
Come from the mercy seat,
Here while we pray;
Now with Thy quickening powers
Breathe on these souls of ours;
Grant us reviving showers;
O Spirit, come.

3 Spirit of Love Divine,
Grant our desire;
Touch Thou our eyes of faith,
Our sons inspire;
O Thou Celestial Dove,
Now from Thy throne above
Melt every heart to love;
O Spirit, come.
