1 Lord, let thy Spirit, from earthly passion weaning,
Lead me along thy will’s all-holy way,
To find by faith, on Jesus’ bosom leaning,
’Mid trial, doubt and need, in him my stay. A-men.
2 Lord, let thy Spirit, new love and life bestowing,
Create a holy heart my breast within;
That I, into my Saviour’s likeness growing,
May bear his image through a world of sin.
3 Lord, let thy Spirit, thy word’s deep wealth unsealing,
Lighten mine eyes with truth’s celestial fire;
In life, in death, the narrow path revealing
Unto the Promised Land of our desire.
Amen.
