166. Holy Spirit, lamp of light

1 Holy Spirit, lamp of light,
Shine upon our nature's night;
Give thy blessed inward sight,
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 distill;
Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter divine!

4 In us "Abba Father," cry,
Earnest of our rest on high,
Hope of immortality,
Comforter divine!

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