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. 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 4: Lord, the Spirit, Peace divine, Still this restless heart of mine, Speak to calm this tossing sea, Stayed in Thy tranquillity. Verse 5: Lord, the Spirit, Joy divine, Gladden Thou this heart of mine; In the desert ways I'll sing: Spring, O Well, forever spring!
