thy holy spirit

Thy Holy Spirit, Lord alone

can turn our hearts from sin;

His power alone can sanctify

and keep us pure within.




O Spirit of Faith and Love,

come in our midst, we pray,

and purify each waiting heart;

bapThise us with power today.




Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone

can deeper love inspire;

His power alone within our souls

can light the sacred fire.




Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can bring

the gifts we seek in prayer;

His voice can words of comfort speak

and still each wave of care.




Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can give

the grace we need this hour;

and while we wait, O Spirit, come

in sanctifying power.




O Spirit of love, descend

come in our midst, we pray

and like a rushing, mighty wind

sweep over our souls today
