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

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

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

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

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