417. Holy Spirit, Lord of Love

1 Holy Spirit, Lord of love,
Wisdom coming from above,
Gifts of blessing to bestow,
On your waiting Church below.
Once again in love draw near
To your people gathered here,
Since our great baptismal day,
You have led us on our way.

2 You have been our constant guide,
Ever watching by our side.
May we now till life shall end,
Choose and know you as our friend.
Give us life to live for you;
Give us love for ever new,
Come then, Holy Spirit, come;
Make each heart your happy home.
