Giving courage to the meek,
Teaching faltering tongues to speak;
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

More of truth divine to learn,
And with deeper love to burn ;

With that hallowing grace of thine,
More and more upon us shine;

Come and live within our heart,
Never from us to depart;

Where thy work may perfect be,
Jesu's face with rapture see :
Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Jesu's face with rapture see :
