Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove by Anonymous — Lyrics
Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with light and comfort from above;
be thou our guardian, thou our guide
o’er every thought and step preside.
The light of truth to us display,
and make us know and choose thy way;
plant holy fear in every heart,
that we from thee may ne’er depart.

About Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove
This hymn seeks the guidance of the Holy Spirit, asking for light, comfort, and a guardian’s watch over thoughts and actions. The text implores the Spirit to reveal truth, instill holy fear, and prevent straying from God’s path. It is a plea for direction towards Christ, the way of holiness and the road to dwelling with God. Ultimately, the prayer leads to the aspiration of reaching heaven, experiencing eternal joy, and finding ultimate rest and blessing in God’s presence. This SATB arrangement sets the familiar English words, suitable for congregational or choir use in a sacred setting.
