Spirit of Faith ! be Thou my guide !
O clasp my hand in Thine,
And never let me quit Thy side ;
Thy comforts are divine.
Pride scorns Thee for Thy lowly mien ;
But who like Thee can rise,
Above this toilsome sordid scene,
Beyond the holy skies?
Meek is Thine eye, and soft Thy voice,
But wondrous is Thy might,
To make the wretched soul rejoice,
To give the simple light.
And still to all who seek Thy way
This mystic power is given,
E'en while their footsteps press the clay
Their souls ascend to heaven.
Spirit of Faith ! I'll go with Thee,
Thou, if I hold Thee fast,
Wilt guide, defend, and strengthen me,
And bear me home at last.
