Lord, Let Thy Spirit

Lord

let Thy Spir­it

from earth­ly pass­ion wean­ing

Lead me along Thy will’s all-holy way

To find by faith

on Je­sus’ bo­som lean­ing

’Mid tri­al

doubt and need

in Him my stay.

Lord

let Thy Spir­it

new love and life be­stow­ing

Create a ho­ly heart my breast with­in;

That I

into my Sav­ior’s like­ness grow­ing

May bear His im­age through a world of sin.

Lord

let Thy Spir­it

Thy Word’s deep wealth un­seal­ing

Lighten mine eyes with truth’s ce­les­ti­al fire;

In life

in death

the nar­row path re­veal­ing

Unto the pro­mised land of our de­sire.
