Spirit, strength of all the weak, Giving courage to the meek, Teaching faltering hopes to speak; Hear us, Holy Spirit. Spirit, aiding all who yearn More of truth divine to learn And with deeper love to burn; Hear us, Holy Spirit. Spirit, Fount of faith and joy, Giving peace without alloy, Hope that nothing can destroy; Hear us, Holy Spirit. Source of love and light divine, With that hallowing grace of Thine, More and more upon us shine; Hear us, Holy Spirit. Holy, loving, as Thou art, Come and live within our heart, Never from us to depart; Hear us, Holy Spirit. May we soon, from sin set free, Where Thy work may perfect be, Jesus’ face with rapture see: Hear us, Holy Spirit. |
