371. Come, Gracious Spirit

1 Come, gracious Spirit, heav’nly Dove,
with light and comfort from above.
Come, be our guardian and our guide;
o’er every thought and step preside,
O’er every thought and step preside.

2 Lead us to Christ, the living Way,
nor let us from his pastures stray.
Lead us to holiness, the road
that we must take to dwell with God,
that we must take to dwell with God.

3 Lead us to heav’n, that we may share
fullness of joy forever there.
Lead us to our eternal rest,
to be with God forever bless’d,
to be with God forever bless’d.
