Hymns from the Morningland ‎#30

30. Lord, may Thy Holy Spirit calm

I
Lord, may Thy Holy Spirit calm
Our troubled souls, and give them rest;
And with His touch, like healing balm,
Allay the pain of the distressed.

II
We hear the promise Thou did’st make
To lone disciples long ago,
And peace and hope our souls o’ertake,
And joy dispels our brooding woe.

III
Now let us feel the Spirit’s power,
And let us hear His gracious word;
Fulfil to us this holy hour
The promise of our dying Lord.

IV
Come, Holy Ghost, with warmth of love,
With light of hope, and calm of peace,
And raise our sense bound souls above
The mocking joys of earth that cease.
