- 1Come, gracious Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
- With light and comfort from above;
- Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide,
- O'er ev'ry tho't and step preside.
- 2The light of truth to us display,
- And make us know and choose Thy way;
- Plant holy fear in every heart,
- That we from Thee may ne'er depart.
- 3Lead us to Christ, the living Way,
- Now let us from His precepts stray;
- Lead us to holiness, the road
- That we must take to dwell with God.
- 4Lead us to heaven, that we may share
- Fulness of joy for ever there;
- Lead us to God, our final rest,
- To be with Him for ever blest.
