Lord, let thy Spirit penetrate

This heart and soul of mine;

And my whole being with thy grace

Pervade, O Life divine!

2 As this clear air surrounds the earth,

Thy grace around me roll;

As the fresh light pervades the air,

So pierce and fill my soul.

3 As from these clouds drops down in love

The precious summer rain,

So from thyself pour down the flood

That freshens all again.

4 As these fair flowers exhale their scent

In gladness at our feet,

So from thyself let fragrance breathe,

More heavenly and more sweet.

5 Thus life within our lifeless hearts,

Shall make its glad abode;

And we shall shine in beauteous light

Filled with the light of God.
