The Cyber Hymnal ‎#2609

2609. Holy Spirit, from on High

1. Holy Spirit, from on high,
Bend o’er us with pitying eye;
Now refresh the drooping heart;
Bid the power of sin depart.

2. Light up every dark recess
Of our heart’s ungodliness;
Show us every devious way
Where our steps have gone astray.

3. Teach us, with repentant grief,
Humbly to implore relief;
Then the Savior’s blood reveal,
And our broken spirits heal.

4. May we daily grow in grace,
And with patience run the race,
Trained in wisdom, led by love,
Till we reach our home above.
