And in our hearts take up Thy rest;
Come with Thy grace and heav'nly aid
To fill our hearts which Thou hast made,
To fill our hearts which Thou hast made.
O Comforter, to Thee we cry,
Thou heav'nly gift of God most high;
Thou fount of life, and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above,
And sweet anointing from above.
To ev'ry sense Thy light impart
And shed Thy love in ev'ry heart.
To our weak flesh, Thy strength supply;
Unfailing courage from on high,
Unfailing courage from on high.
O grant that we through Thee may come
To know the Father and the Son,
And hold with firm, unchanging faith,
That Thou art Spirit of them both,
That Thou art Spirit of them both.
Praise be to Thee, Father and Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in one;
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow,
The gifts that from the Spirit flow.
