- 1Come, Holy Spirit, calm my mind,
- And fit me to approach my God;
- Remove each vain, each worldly thought,
- And lead me to the blest abode.
- 2Hast thou imparted to my soul
- A living spark of holy fire?
- Oh! kindle now the sacred flame,
- Make me to burn with pure desire.
- 3A brighter faith and hope impart,
- And let me now my Saviour see;
- Oh! soothe and cheer my burdened heart
- And bid my spirit rest in thee.
