194. Holy Spirit, truth divine

1 Holy Spirit, truth divine,
Dawn upon this soul of mine;
Word of God and inward light,
Wake my spirit, clear my sight.

2 Holy Spirit, love divine,
Glow within this heart of mine;
Kindle every high desire,
Perish self in thy pure fire.

3 Holy Spirit, right divine,
King within my conscience reign;
Be my Lord, and I shall be
Firmly bound, for ever free.

4 Holy Spirit, peace divine,
Still this restless heart of mine;
Speak to calm this tossing sea,
Stayed in thy tranquillity.

5 Holy Spirit, joy divine,
Gladden thou this heart of mine;
In the desert ways I sing,
Spring, O well, for ever spring!
