17043. Spirit of Life, in This New Dawn

1. Spirit of Life, in this new dawn,
Give us the faith that fol­lows on,
Leting Thine all per­vad­ing pow’r
Fulfill the dream of this high hour.

2. Spirit Cre­at­ive, give us light,
Lifting the ra­veled mists of night.
Touch Thou our dust with spir­it-hand,
And make us souls that un­der­stand.

3. Spirit Re­deem­ing, give us grace,
When cru­ci­fied to seek Thy face,
To read for­give­ness in Thine eyes,
Today with Thee in pa­r­adise.

4. Spirit Con­sol­ing, let us find
Thy hand when sor­rows leave us blind.
In the gray val­ley let us hear
Thy si­lent voice: "Lo, I am near."

5. Spirit of Love, at ev­en­ing time,
When wea­ry feet re­fuse to climb,
Give us Thy vi­sion, eyes that see,
Beyond the dark, the dawn and Thee.
