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.
