422. 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 your pure fire.

3 Holy Spirit, power divine,
Fill and nerve this will of mine;
By you may I strongly live,
Bravely bear, and nobly strive.

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

5 Holy Spirit, right divine,
King within my conscience reign;
Be my law, and I shall be
Firmly bound, forever free.

Amen.
