Lyrics Holy Spirit, Love divine! Let Thy light within me shine; All my guilty fears remove Fill me with Thy heav'nly love. Speak Thy pard'ning grace to me, Set the burdened sinner free; Lead me to the Lamb of God, Wash me in His precious blood. Life and peace to me impart, Seal salvation on my heart; Breathe Thyself into my breast, Earnest of immortal rest. Let me never from Thee stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Fill my soul with joy divine, Keep me, Lord, forever Thine.
