173. Come, gracious Spirit, heav'nly Dove

1 Come, gracious Spirit, heav'nly 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 God may ne'er depart.

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