95. Holy Spirit, like a dove

1 Holy Spirit, like a dove,
Who descended from above;
Make our hearts henceforth to be
Temples ever worthy Thee.

2 Teach us all from wrong to flee,
Who to gain the mastery
Over all the powers of sin,
How eternal life to win.

3 May we by Thy strength endued,
Ever find our love renewed,
Love for Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Love for His most Holy Word.

4 Gentle Spirit, through our days,
Be Thou near to guide our ways;
In our heart make Thine abode,
Then shall we be near to God.
