Spirit of holiness, descend: Thy people wait for Thee; Thine ear in kind compassion lend; Let us Thy mercy see. Thy light that on our souls hath shone, Lead us in hope to Thee; Let us not feel its rays alone, Alone Thy people be. O bring our dearest friends to God; Remember those we love; Fit them on earth for Thine abode, Fit them for joys above. Spirit of holiness, 'tis Thine To hear our feeble prayer; Come, for we wait Thy power divine, Let us Thy mercy share.
