Blest Comforter divine

1Blest Comforter divine,
Let rays of heavenly love
Amid our gloom and darkness shine,
And point our souls above.

2Tune us with gentle voice
From every sinful way,
And bid the drooping saint rejoice
Though earthly joys decay.

3By thine inspiring breath
Make every cloud of care,
And e'en the gloomy vale of death,
A smile of glory wear.

4O fill thou every heart
With love to all our race;
Great Comforter, to us impart
These blessings of thy grace.
