Lord, the Spirit, Truth divine,

Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892)

5 Verses Holy Spirit Invocation

Verse 1

Lord, the Spirit, Truth divine, Dawn upon this heart of mine; Word of God, and inward light, Wake my spirit, clear my sight.

Verse 2

Lord, the Spirit, Love divine, Glow within this heart of mine, Kindle every high desire, Perish self in Thy pure fire.

Verse 3

Lord, the Spirit, Power divine, Fill and nerve this will of mine; By Thee may I strongly live, Bravely bear, and nobly strive.

Verse 5

Lord, the Spirit, Peace divine, Still this restless heart of mine, Speak to calm this tossing sea, Stayed in Thy tranquility.

Verse 6

Lord, the Spirit, Joy divine, Gladden Thou this heart of mine; In the desert ways I'll sing: Spring, O Well, forever spring! (Repeat the last line of each stanza)
