Holy Spirit, Truth Divine
By Samuel Longfellow
Holy Spirit, truth divine,
dawn upon this soul of mine;
breath of God and inward light,
wake my spirit, clear my sight.
Holy Spirit, love divine,
glow within this heart of mine;
kindle ev’ry high desire;
purge me with your holy fire.
Holy Spirit, pow’r divine,
fortify this will of mine;
by your will I strongly live,
bravely bear, and nobly strive.
Holy Spirit, peace divine,
still this restless heart of mine;
speak to calm this tossing sea,
stayed in your tranquility.
Holy Spirit, right divine,
king within my conscience reign;
be my guide, and I shall be
firmly bound, forever free.
