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 every high desire, 
purify me with your fire. 

3
Holy Spirit, Power divine, 
fill and nerve this will of mine. 
Boldly 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, forever free. 

5
Holy Spirit, Peace divine, 
still this restless heart of mine. 
Speak to calm this tossing sea, 
grant me your tranquility. 

6
Holy Spirit, Joy divine, 
gladden now this heart of mine. 
In the desert ways I sing, 
spring, O living Water, spring!
