Come, Holy Ghost, my soul inspire;
This one great gift impart-
What most I need, and most desire,
A humble, holy heart.

Bear witness that I’m born again,
My many sins forgiven:
Nor let a gloomy doubt remain
To cloud my hope of heav’n.

More of myself grant I may know,
From sin’s deceit be free,
In all the Christian graces grow,
And live alone to Thee.
