Laudes Domini ‎#423

423. Growth in grace

1 Come, Holy Ghost, my soul inspire;
This one great gift impart--
What most I need, and most desire,
An humble, holy heart.

2 Bear witness I am born again,
My many sins forgiven:
Nor let a gloomy doubt remain
To cloud my hope of heaven.

3 More of myself grant I may know,
From sin's deceit be free;
In all the Christian graces grow,
And live alone to thee.
