V: O Holy Spirit, one in power

O Holy Spirit, one in power, With God Who reigns in highest heaven; Come to our waiting souls this hour, And let Thy heavenly aid be given.

Our souls are dark, for sin is there; We strive, and find our striving vain; For night afflicts us everywhere, And all is loss, and nought is gain.

But Thou art Light of radiant glow, And Thou canst fill our souls with cheer; Come then, Thy glorious Gift bestow, And with Thy presence bless us here.

Then, far from us shall night depart,-- Our sin, and sadness, doubt, and pain; And comfort shall sustain the heart, And peace our warring lusts restrain.

O, One with Christ, Thou Spirit blest, As one with God Thou truly art; Great Triune! be Thy power confest, And Thou enthroned in every heart.
