Original text and translations

English text 1. Come, Holy Spirit, come; Let thy bright beams arise, Dispel the darkness from our minds, And open all our eyes. 2. Cheer our desponding hearts, Thou heavenly Paraclete; Give us to lie, with humble hope, At our Redeemer’s feet. 3. Revive our drooping faith; Our doubts and fears remove; And kindle in our breasts the flames Of never-dying love.

4. Convince us of our sin; Then lead to Jesus’ blood: And to our wandering view reveal The secret love of God. 5. Show us that loving Man, That rules the courts of bliss, The Lord of hosts, the mighty God, The eternal prince of peace. 6. ‘Tis thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life on every part, And new create the whole.

7. If thou, celestial dove, Thine influence withdraw, What easy victims soon we fall To conscience, wrath, and law! 8. No longer burns our love; Our faith and patience fail; Our sin revives; and death and hell Our feeble souls assail. 9. Dwell therefore in our hearts; Our minds from bondage free; Then shall we know, and praise, and love, The Father, Son, and thee.
