Holy Spirit, Truth divine, dawn upon this soul of mine;
Breath of God and inward light, wake my spirit, clear my sight.
Holy Spirit, Love divine, glow within this heart of mine;
Kindle every high desire; purge me with your holy fire.
Holy Spirit, Power divine, fortify this will of mine;
By your will I strongly live, bravely bear, and nobly strive.
Holy Spirit, Peace divine, still this restless heart of mine;
Speak to calm this tossing sea, stayed in your tranquility.
Holy Spirit, Right divine, King within my conscience reign;
Be my guide, and I shall be firmly bound, forever free.
May the Spirit of truth and love, power and peace guide us along these Avenues of Hope. Amen.
