Laudes Domini ‎#524

524. "Comforter Divine!"

1 Holy Ghost, the Infinite!
Shine upon our nature's night
With thy blessed holy light,
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 distil;
Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter Divine!

4 In us, for us, intercede,
And with voiceless groanings, plead
Our unutterable need,
Comforter Divine!

5 In us "Abba, Father," cry,--
Earnest of our bliss on high,
Seal of immortality,--
Comforter Divine!

6 Search for us the depths of God;
Bear us up the starry road,
To the height of thine abode,
Comforter Divine!
