Holy Spirit, Lamp of Light

1Holy Spirit, lamp of light,
Shine upon our nature's night;
Give Thy blessed inward sight,
Comforter divine!

2We are sinful; cleanse us,
Lord;
We are faint;
Thy strength afford;
Lost— until by Thee restored,
Comforter divine!

3Like the dew,
Thy peace distill;
Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter divine!

4In us "Abba,
Father," cry— Earnest of our rest on high,
Hope of immortality,
Comforter divine!

5Search for us the depths of God;
Bear us up the starry road To the height of Thine abode,
Comforter divine!
