Text: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892
Music: Adapt. from Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625
Tune: CANTERBURY, Meter: 77.77

This week's featured hymn was written by Samuel Longfellow, the younger brother of the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

1. Holy Spirit, Truth divine,
dawn upon this soul of mine;
Word of God and inward light,
wake my spirit, clear my sight.		 2. Holy Spirit, Love divine,
glow within this heart of mine;
kindle every high desire;
perish self in thy pure fire.
3. Holy Spirit, Power divine,
fill and nerve this will of mine;
grant that I may strongly live,
bravely bear, and nobly strive.		 4. Holy Spirit, Right divine,
King within my conscience reign;
be my Lord, and I shall be
firmly bound, forever free.

God bless you--
