| Thy Holy Spirit send, |
| That He support may lend, |
| So that we faithful follow |
| Thy word unto the end. |
| 16. |
| Whene'er our hearts are sinking |
| Within the narrow way, |
| Assist us then in thinking |
| That any wish to stray |
| May, from Thy judgment stool |
| Into the fiery pool, |
| Us hurl below forever, |
| Where waters never cool. |
| 17. |
| Whenever earthly rapture, |
| Or arrogance or lust, |
| Shall with allurements capture, |
| Oh! help us to distrust — |
| Enable us to see |
| What endless misery |
| For transitory pleasures |
| Will ever ready be. |
| 18. |
| Oh, let us be o'erflowing |
| With true humility; |
| The lamp of faith be glowing |
| That all of us may see |
| False glimmerings to shun: |
| The world be overdone; |
| The victory o'er fleshly things |
| By lowliness be won. |
| 19. |
| Oh! send us from above, |
| Thou Bridegroom of the soul! |
| Thou source of purest love! |
| A living burning coal |
