62. O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Light

O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Light,
Remove our ignorance, we pray,
And shine upon the 'wildering night,
That leads our darkened souls astray.

O Holy Ghost, convince of sin,
And in our blindness let us see
The fleshly power that lurks within,
The loves that turn our hearts from Thee.

O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Life,
Revive our souls with needed strength,
That we may stand amid earth's strife,
And win the victory at length.

O Holy Ghost, Thy comfort bring,
That, when the heart with sorrow sighs,
Our lips the praise of Christ may sing,
And tears no longer cloud our eyes.

O Holy Ghost, our faith renew,
Our doubting minds with hope inspire;
And may Thy love our hate subdue,
And warm our souls with heavenly fire.
