Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly dove,
With light and comfort from above.
Come, be our guardian and our guide;
At every thought and step preside.
The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and choose your way;
Plant holy fear in every heart
That we from God may not depart.
Lead us to Christ, the living way,
Nor let us from his pastures stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God.
Lead us to heaven that we may share
The fullest joy forever there;
Lead us to our eternal rest,
To be with God forever blest.
