Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #176 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit! Lord of light!
From the clear celestial height
Thy pure beaming radiance give:
Come, Thou Father of the poor!
Come, with treasures which endure!
Come, Thou Light of all that live!
2 Thou, of all consolers best,
Thou the soul's delightsome guest,
Dost refreshing peace bestow;
Thou in toil art comfort sweet;
Pleasant coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
3 Light immortal! light divine!
Visit Thou these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill:
If Thou take Thy grace away,
Nothing pure in man will stay;
All his good is turned to ill.
4 Thou, on those who evermore
Thee confess and Thee adore,
In Thy sevenfold gifts, descend:
Give them comfort when they die,
Give them life with Thee on high,
Give them joys that never end.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit Comforter; Holy Spirit Mocked; Holy Spirit Work of the; Holy Spirit Worshiped; Praise To the Holy Spirit; Witness of the Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: CLIFTON
