1 O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God,
in ev'ry need thou bring us aid,
proceeding forth from heaven's throne,
from God, the Father and the Son;
O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God.
2 O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God,
increase our faith in our dear Lord;
unless your grace the pow'r should give,
none can believe in Christ and live;
O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God.
3 O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God,
make us to love your sacred word;
the holy flame of love impart,
that charity may warm each heart;
O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God.
4 O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God,
enlighten us by that same word;
teach us to know God's radiant love,
lead us to Christ who reigns above:
O Spirit of life, O Spirit of God.
