O Holy Ghost! Thy heavenly dew

The hearts of sinners can renew;

Thou dost within our breasts abide,

And still to holy actions guide.

Through Thee the soul is fain to sing

When sorrow’s clouds are deepening;

With Jesus Christ Thou mak’st us one,

Earnest of heaven, from God’s High Throne.

Best Gift of God, and man’s true Friend,

Now to my inmost soul descend;

The mind of Jesus Christ impart,

And consecrate to Thee my heart.

Teach me to do my Father’s Will,

To lie, beneath His guidance, still;

Lighten my mind, my heart incline

To make henceforth His Pleasure mine.

From spot and blemish make me pure,

My future bliss in heaven secure;

When lost in darkness, give me light,

And cheer me through death’s dreary night.
