599. Holy Spirit, hear us

1 Holy Spirit, hear us;
help us while we sing;
breathe into the music
of the praise we bring.

2 Holy Spirit, prompt us
when we try to pray;
nearer come, and teach us
what we ought to say.

3 Holy Spirit, teach us
through the words we read;
bring to life the Bible
with the light we need.

4 Holy Spirit, give us
each a lively mind;
make us more like Jesus,
gentle, pure, and kind.

5 Holy Spirit, help us
daily, by your might,
what is wrong to conquer,
and to choose the right.
