Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Holy Spirit, Lord of light,
From Thy clear celestial height.
Thy pure beaming radiance give,
Come Thou Father of the poor;
Come with treasures that endure;
Come Thou Light of all that live.
VERSE 2
Thou, of all consolers best,
Thou the soul's delightful guest.
Dost refreshing peace bestow:
Thou in toil art comfort sweet;
Pleasant coolness in the heat,
Solace in the midst of woe.
VERSE 3
Light immortal, Light divine,
Visit Thou these hearts of Thine.
And our inmost being fill:
If Thou take Thy grace away:
Nothing pure in man will stay:
All his good is turned to ill.
VERSE 4
Heal our wounds, our strength renew,
On our dryness pour Thy dew.
Wash the stains of guilt away:
Bend the stubborn heart at will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill,
Guide the steps that go astray.
VERSE 5
Thou, on us who evermore,
Thee confess and Thee adore,
With Thy sevenfold gifts descend:
Give them comfort when they die:
Give them life with Thee on high:
Give them joys that never end.
