Come, Mighty Spirit

Come

migh­ty Spir­it

pe­ne­trate

This heart and soul of mine;

And my whole be­ing

with Thy grace

Pervade

O Life di­vine.

As this clear air sur­rounds the earth

Thy grace around me roll;

As the fresh light per­vades the air

So pierce and fill my soul.

As

from these clouds

drops down in love

The pre­cious sum­mer rain

So

from Thy­self

pour down the flood

That fresh­ens all again.

As these fair flow­ers ex­hale their scent

In glad­ness at our feet

So from Thy­self let frag­rance breathe

More heav’n­ly and more sweet.

Thus life with­in our life­less hearts

Shall make its glad abode;

And we shall shine in beau­te­ous light

Filled with the light of God.
