Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord! Let all your graces be outpoured On each believer's mind and heart; Your fervent love to us impart.

Lord, by the brightness of your light, You in the faith do men unite Of every land and every tongue; This to your praise, O Lord, be sung.

Lord, by your power prepare each heart And to our weakness strength impart, That bravely here we may contend, Through life and death to you ascend.
