Thrice-Blessed Spirit ! Giver of salvation, Purchased by Jesus on the cross of shame ; Dwell in our hearts ; transform them with Thy beauty---- Fairest adorning of our Saviour's name.
2. Thy sevenfold grace bestow upon us freely : ---- Love, deep and full, to God and all mankind ; Joy in the Lord, 'mid every earthly sorrow ; Peace, calm and sweet, that guardeth heart and mind.
3. Make us long-suffering 'mid earth's provocations ; Gentleness give us, when enduring wrong ; Goodness impart, that we e'en foes may succour, Faithfulness grant, to change our toil to song.
4. Meekness bestow, with humble self- abasement, And Self-control, through Thy controlling might : And as we list to every call of duty, May we do all as in Thy searching sight.
5. Then with the gift of holiness within us ; We not less human, but made more divine ; Our lives replete with heaven's supernal beauty, Ever declare-----That beauty, Lord, is Thine.
