181. Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove

1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above,
Be Thou our guardian, Thou our guide;
O'er ev'ry thought and step preside.

2 Conduct us safe, conduct us far
From ev'ry sin and hurtful snare:
Lead to Thy word, that rules must give,
And teach us lessons how to live.

3 The light of truth to us display,
That we may know and love Thy way;
Plant holy fear in ev'ry heart,
That we from Thee may ne'er depart.

4 Lead us to righteousness, the road
That we must take, to dwell with God;
Lead us to heaven, the seat of bliss,
Where pleasure in perfection is.
