Text
Holy Ghost, guiding me,
Highest praise is due to Thee
For Thy faithful leading;
Guiding me from stage to stage
Hearing ev'ry prayer for aid,
Ev'ry plea for guidance.
Holy Ghost, helping me,
Highest praise is due to Thee
For Thy watchful guiding.
When my way led through dark night
Then Thy counsel brought me light,
All my way illuming.
Holy Ghost, God and Lord,
May'st Thou be by all adored
For Thy guiding, loving.
What without Thee would I be?
So I thank Thee fervently
From my heart for ever.
