The Lutheran Hymnary ‎#375

375. Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!

1 Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord!
Be all Thy graces now out poured
On the believer’s soul and heart;
Thy fervent love to them impart.
Lord, by the brightness of Thy light,
Thou in the faith dost men unite
Of every land and every tongue:
This to Thy praise, O Lord, be sung:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

2 Thou holy Light, and Guide divine!
O cause the word of life to shine;
Teach us to know our God aright,
And call Him Father with delight!
From error, Lord, our souls defend.
That they on Christ alone attend;
In Him with living faith confide,
And in unfaltering trust abide.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

3 Sweet Source of comfort, holy Love,
Send us Thy succor from above,
That in Thy service we may stay,
And trouble drive us not away.
Lord, with thy grace our souls refresh,
Confirm our frail and feeble flesh,
That we may battle manfully,
And press through life and death to Thee.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
