Representative text
As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 215 — the newest hymnal carrying it.
Verse 1
Gracious Spirit, Love divine, Let thy light within me shine, All my guilty fears remove, Fill me with thy heavenly love.
Verse 2
Speak thy pardoning grace to me, Set the burdened sinner free, Lead me to the Lamb of God, Wash me in his precious blood.
Verse 3
Life and peace to me impart, Seal salvation on my heart, Breathe thyself into my breast, Earnest of immortal rest.
Verse 4
Let me never from thee stray, Keep me in the narrow way, Fill my soul with joy divine, Keep me, Lord, forever thine.
