Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone, Can turn our hearts from sin; His power alone can sanctify And keep us pure within.
2. Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone Can deeper love inspire; His power alone within our souls Can light the sacred fire.
3. Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can bring The gifts we seek in prayer; His voice can words of comfort speak, And still each wave of care.
4. Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can give The grace we need this hour; And while we wait, O Spirit, come In sanctifying power.
