Holy Spirit, Truth Divine

lyricist: Samuel Longfellow, 1864
Composer: Orlando Gibbons, 1623

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.

Holy Spir­it

pow­er di­vine

Fill and nerve this will of mine;

Grant that I may strong­ly live

Bravely bear

and nob­ly strive.

Holy Spir­it

right di­vine

King with­in my con­sci­ence reign;

Be my Lord

and I shall be

Firmly bound

for­ev­er free.

Holy Spir­it

peace di­vine

Still this rest­less heart of mine;

Speak to calm this toss­ing sea

Stayed in Thy tran­quil­ity.

Holy Spir­it

joy di­vine

Gladden Thou this heart of mine;

In the de­sert ways I sing

Spring

O well

for­ev­er spring.

Now in­cline me to re­pent

Let me now my sins la­ment

Now my foul re­volt de­plore

Weep

be­lieve

and sin no more.
