Representative Text

1 Spirit of love immortal,
Promised to ev’ry heart,
Come from the heav’nly portal,
Never from us depart.

Refrain:
Come, Holy Spirit, Heav’nly Dove,
Dwell thou among us,
Sent from the throne above;
Kindle within us that sacred flame,
That shall thrill us anew,
With the glory of Jesus’ name.

2 Spirit of grace, descending,
As in the days of old,
Fill us with joy unending,
Pardon and peace untold. [Refrain]

3 Spirit of God attend us,
Comforter here below,
Ever with love befriend us,
Teach us Thy will to know. [Refrain]
