1 O Gud, af Naade rig og stor,
Send os din Aand, hjælp, at dit Ord
Fra Øre saa til Hjerte gaar,
At Liv og Lys deraf vi faar!

2 Det Liv, som er den sande Tro,
At vi livsfast med Kristus gro;
Det Lys af Kjærlighed, hvorpaa
Vi for hans Benner kjendes maa.

3 Gjør ved din Aand, o Herre kjær,
Vi komme dig alt mere nær
I Kjendskab, Kjærlighed og Tro,
Til vi faa evig Sabbats-Ro!
