289. Holy Spirit, truth divine

1 Holy Spirit, truth divine,
dawn upon this soul of mine;
voice of God, and inward light,
wake my spirit, clear my sight.

2 Holy Spirit, love divine,
glow within this heart of mine;
kindle ev'ry high desire,
purify me with your fire.

3 Holy Spirit, pow'r divine,
fill and nerve this will of mine;
by thee may I always live,
bravely serve and gladly give.

4 Holy Spirit, law divine,
reign within this soul of mine;
be my law, and I shall be
firmly bound, for ever free.

5 Holy Spirit, peace divine,
still this restless heart of mine;
speak to calm this tossing sea,
grant me your tranquillity.

6 Holy Spirit, joy divine,
gladden now this heart of mine:
in the desert ways I sing -
spring, O living water, spring!
