1 Gracious Spirit, Dove divine!
Let Thy light within me shine;
All my guilty fears remove,
Fill me with Thy heavenly love.
Let Thy light within me shine;
All my guilty fears remove,
Fill me with Thy heavenly love.
2 Speak Thy pardoning grace to me,
Set the burdened sinner free;
Lead me to the Lamb of God,
Wash me in His precious blood.
Set the burdened sinner free;
Lead me to the Lamb of God,
Wash me in His precious blood.
3 Life and peace to me impart;
Seal salvation in my heart;
Dwell Thyself within my breast,
Earnest of eternal rest.
Seal salvation in my heart;
Dwell Thyself within my breast,
Earnest of eternal rest.
