Come, gracious Spirit, heav'nly Dove,

by Simon Browne (1680–1732)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 204 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Come, gracious Spirit, heav'nly Dove, With light and comfort from above; Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide; O'er all thoughts and step preside.

Verse 2

To us the light of truth display, And make us know and choose thy way; Plant holy fear in every heart, That we from God may ne'er depart.

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

Lead us to God, our final rest, To be with him forever blest; Lead us to heaven, its bliss to share Fullness of joy forever there!
