Holy Spirit, Come and Shine

Holy Spir­it

come and shine

Sweetly in this heart of mine

With Thy heav­en­ly love and light;

Come

Thou Fa­ther of the poor

Come

Thou Giv­er

great and sure;

Come

and make my spir­it bright!

Best of all my help­ers

Thou!

Dearest Guest that I can know

Freshest Draught that I can find:

In my la­bor Thou art Peace

Thou dost bid my fev­er cease

To my sor­rows Thou art kind.

O Thou bless­èd Light of Light

Fill Thou ev­ery sec­ret height

In Thy serv­ant’s wait­ing soul!

Save for this

Thy heav­en­ly aid

Man would be for no­thing made;

Not a sin could he con­trol.

Cleanse Thou ev­ery sor­did place

Soften harsh­ness by Thy grace

Heal the wounds I feel with­in;

Bend the stub­born will to Thine

Cheer the thoughts that droop and pine—

Rule what­ev­er turns to sin!

Give to them that faith­ful be

Everlasting trust in Thee

All Thy se­ven­fold gifts be­stow;

Give to vir­tue her re­ward

Give us safe­ty in our Lord

Give what joy im­mor­tals know!
