Alt.

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.

Lead us to Christ, the living Way,

Nor let us from his precepts stray;

Lead us to holiness, the road

That we must take to dwell with God.

Lead us to heaven, that we may share

Fullness of joy for ever there;

Lead us to God, our final rest,

To be with him for ever blest.

Amen.
