Holy Spirit, lead us now
Boldly to the throne of grace;
While our heads in prayer we bow,
Let Thy presence fill this place:
Holy Spirit, Heavenly Guide,
Lead us to the Crucified!
This is now our time of need,
This is now the day of grace;
Now our souls with manna feed
Ere we leave this sacred place:
Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
Lead us to the feast of love!
At the blessed mercy-seat
Peace and joy are freely given;
While we wait at Jesus' feet,
Make this place the gate of heaven:
Holy Spirit, Heavenly Friend,
Now upon our hearts descend!
Weak and sinful though we be,
Jesus' blood can cleanse from sin;
At the fountain full and free
Wash and make us pure within:
Holy Spirit, Cleansing fire,
Burn up every base desire!
