lyrics

Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit, God from all eternity!
May Thy power never fail us; Dwell within us constantly.
Then shall truth and life and light Banish all the gloom of night.

Grant our hearts in fullest measure Wisdom, counsel, purity,
That we ever may be seeking Only that which pleaseth Thee.
Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working error’s overthrow.

Show us, Lord, the path of blessing; When we trespass on our way,
Cast, O Lord, our sins behind Thee, And be with us day by day.
Should we stray, O Lord, recall; Work repentance when we fall.

Prompt us, Lord, to come before Him With a childlike heart to pray;
Sigh in us, O Holy Spirit, When we know not what to say.
Then our prayer is not in vain, And our faith new strength shall gain.

If our soul can find no comfort, If despondency grows strong,
And the heart cries out in anguish, “Oh my God, how long, how long?” Comfort then our aching breast, Grant it courage, patience, rest.
