With thy blessed inward light,
Holy Ghost, the Infinite,
Comforter Divine.
2 We are sinful - cleanse us, Lord;
Sick and fain -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 With us, for us, intercede,
And, with voiceless groanings, plead
Our unutterable need,
Comforter Divine.
5 In us Abba, Father! cry,
Earnest of the bliss on high,
Seal of immortality,
Comforter Divine.
6 Search for us the depths of God;
Upwards by the starry road,
Bear us to thy high abode,
Comforter Divine.
Amen. Scripture: Romans 8:26 Languages: English Tune Title: IRENE
