O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Light,

Remove our ignorance, we pray,

And shine upon the 'wildering night,

That leads our darkened souls astray.

O Holy Ghost, convince of sin,

And in our blindness let us see

The fleshly power that lurks within,

The loves that turn our hearts from Thee.

O Holy Ghost, Thou Lord of Life,

Revive our souls with needed strength,

That we may stand amid earth's strife,

And win the victory at length.

O Holy Ghost, Thy comfort bring,

That, when the heart with sorrow sighs,

Our lips the praise of Christ may sing,

And tears no longer cloud our eyes.

O Holy Ghost, our faith renew,

Our doubting minds with hope inspire;

And may Thy love our hate subdue,

And warm our souls with heavenly fire.
