107. Blest Spirit, One with God

1. Blest Spirit, one with God above,
Thou source of life and holy love,
O cheer us with thy sacred beams,
Refresh us with thy plenteous streams.

2. O may our lips confess thy name,
Our holy lives thy praise proclaim,
With love divine our hearts inspire,
And fill us with thy holy fire.

3. O holy Father, holy Son,
And Holy Spirit, three in one,
Thy grace devoutly we implore,
Thy name be praised forever more.
