Gloria Deo ‎#281

281. Hail, Holy Spirit, Bright Immortal Dove

1 Hail, Holy Spirit, bright immortal Dove!
Great spring of light, of purity and love;
Proceeding from the Father and the Son,
Distinct from both, and yet with both but one.

2 O Lord, from Thee one kind and quick’ning ray
Will pierce the gloom and re-enkindle day;
Will warm the frozen heart with love divine,
And with its Maker’s image make it shine.

3 Oh, shed Thine influence, and Thy power exert;
Clear my dark mind, and thaw my icy heart;
Pour on my drowsy soul celestial day,
And heav’nly life to all its pow’rs convey.
