54. Holy Spirit, hear us

1 Holy Spirit, hear us
On this sacred day.
Come to us with blessing.
Come with us to stay;
Come, as once Thou camest
On the faithful few,
Patiently awaiting
Jesus' promise true.

2 Up to heaven ascending
Our dear Lord has gone;
Yet His little children
Leaves He not alone.
To His blessed promise
Now in faith we cling,
Comforter most Holy!
Spread o'er us Thy wing.

3 Lighten Thou our darkness,
Be Thyself our Light,
Strengthen Thou our weakness,
Spirit of all might!
In our doubts give counsel,
In temptation aid,
Say to us in danger,
"Be not ye afraid!"

4 Spirit of adoption!
Make us overflow
With Thy sevenfold blessing
And in grace to grow;
"Into Christ baptized,"
Grant that we may be,
Day and night, dear Spirit!
Perfected by Thee.
