4: Thou whom Jesus from His throne
Gave to cheer and help His own,

Bend aright our stubborn will;
Though we grieve Thee, patient still:

And, when snares our souls enthrall,
Lead us back with gentle call:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Give Thy courage to the meek;
Teach our faltering tongues to speak:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
8: Come,to aid the souls who yearn
More of truth divine to learn,
And with deeper love to burn:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Warn us when we go astray;
Plead within us when we pray:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
10: Holy,loving,as Thou art,
All Thy sevenfold gifts impart;
Nevermore from us depart:
Hear us, Holy Spirit.
Amen.
