Invoking the Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, come;

Let Thy bright beams arise;

Dispel the sorrow from our minds,

The darkness from our eyes.

Convince us all of sin,

Then lead to Jesus’ blood,

And to our wond’ring view reveal

The mercies of our God.

Revive our drooping faith,

Our doubts and fears remove,

And kindle in our breasts the flame

Of never-dying love.

’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,

To sanctify the soul,

To pour fresh life in ev'ry part

And new-create the whole.

Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;

Our minds from bondage free;

Then we shall know and praise and love

The Father, Son, and Thee.

Amen.
