475. Come, Gracious Spirit, Heavenly Dove

1 Come, gracious Spirit, heav'nly dove,
With light and comfort from above.
Come, be our guardian and our guide;
O'er ev'ry thought and step preside.

2 The light of truth to us display
And make us know and choose your way;
Plant holy fear in ev'ry heart,
That we from God may ne'er depart.

3 Lead us to Christ, the living way,
Nor let us from his pastures stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road
That we must take to dwell with God.

4 Lead us to heav'n, that we may share
Fullness of joy forever there;
Lead us to our eternal rest,
To be with God forever blest.
