- 1Lord God, the Holy Ghost!
- In this accepted hour,
- As on the day of Pentecost,
- Descend in all Thy power.
- 2We meet with one accord
- In our appointed place,
- And wait the promise of our Lord,
- And Spirit of all grace.
- 3Like mighty rushing wind
- Upon the waves beneath,
- Move with one impulse every mind,
- One soul, one feeling breathe.
- 4The young, the old inspire
- With wisdom from above;
- And give us hearts and tongues of fire,
- To pray, and praise, and love.
- 5Spirit of light, explore,
- And chase our gloom away;
- With lustre shining more and more,
- Unto the perfect day!
- 6Spirit of truth, be Thou
- In life and death our Guide;
- O Spirit of adoption, now
- May we be sanctified!
