Text: | Holy Spirit, truth divine |
Author: | Samuel Longfellow |
Tune: | MERCY |
Arranger: | E. P. Parker |
Composer: | Louis M. Gottschalk |
1 Holy Spirit, truth divine,
Dawn upon this soul of mine;
Word of God, and inward light,
Wake my spirit, clear my sight.
2 Holy Spirit, love divine,
Glow within this heart of mine,
Kindle every high desire,
Perish self in thy pure fire.
3 Holy Spirit, power divine!
Fill and nerve this will of mine;
Be my law, and I shall be
Firmly bound, yet ever free.
