Holy Spirit, Truth divine,
dawn upon this soul of mine;
Word of God
and inward light,
wake my spirit, clear my sight.

Holy Spirit, Love divine,
glow within
this heart of mine;
kindle every high desire;
perish self
in thy pure fire.
Verse 3
Holy Spirit, Power divine,
fill and nerve
this will of mine;
grant that I
may strongly live,
bravely bear, and nobly strive.
Verse 4
Holy Spirit, Right divine,
King within
my conscience reign;
be my Lord,
and I shall be
firmly bound, forever free.
