190. Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly dove

Full Text

1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly dove,
With light and comfort from above,
Be thou our guardian, thou our guide;
O’er every thought and step preside.

2 The light of truth to us display
That we may know and choose thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart
That we from God may ne’er depart.

3 Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God;
Lead us to God, our final rest,
To be with him for ever blessèd.
