Come, Holy Spirit, calm my mind,

Based on Ps 80:18
1
Come, Holy Spirit, calm my mind,
And fit me to approach my God;
Remove each vain, each worldly thought,
And lead me to thy blest abode.
2
Hast thou imparted to my soul
A living spark of heavenly fire?
O kindle now the sacred flame!
Teach me to burn with pure desire.
3
Impress upon my wandering heart
The love that Christ for sinners bore;
And give a new, a contrite heart,
A heart the Saviour to adore.
