Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: Laudes Domini #202 (1890) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: Come, blessed Spirit! source of light! Lyrics: 1 Come, blessed Spirit! source of light!
Whose power and grace are unconfined,
Dispel the gloomy shades of night
The thicker darkness of the mind.
2 To mine illumined eyes, display
The glorious truths thy word reveals;
Cause me to run the heavenly way,
Thy book unfold, and loose the seals.
3 Thine inward teachings make me know
The mysteries of redeeming love,
The vanity of things below,
And excellence of things above.
4 While through this dubious maze I stray,
Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad,
To show the dangers of the way,
And guide my feeble steps to God. Topics: The Holy Spirit; Inspiration; Inspiration Languages: English
