Come Holy Spirit

image from: stchristophermv.org

Come, gracious Spirit, heav'nly dove,

With light and comfort from above.

Come, be our guardian and our guide;

O'er every thought and step preside.

The Light of truth to us display

And make us know and choose your way;

Plant holy fear in every heart,

That we from God may ne'er depart.

Lead us to Christ, the living way,

Nor let us from his pastures stray;

Lead us to holiness, the road

That we must take to dwell with God.

Lead us to heav'n, that we may share

Fullness of joy forever there;

Lead us to our eternal rest,

To be with god forever blest.
