Spirit of wisdom, turn our eyes

From earth and earthly vanities

To heav'nly truth and love;

Spirit of understanding true

Our souls with heav'nly light endue

To seek the things above.

Spirit of counsel, be our Guide;

Teach us, by earthly struggles tried

Our heav’nly crown to win:

Spirit of fortitude, Thy pow’r

Be with us in temptation’s hour,

To keep us pure from sin.

Spirit of knowledge, lead our feet

In Thine own paths, so safe and sweet

By angel footsteps trod;

Where Thou our Guardian true shalt be,

Spirit of gentle piety,

To keep us close to God.

Through all our life be ever near,

Spirit of God’s most holy fear,

In our heart’s inmost shrine;

Our souls with awful reverence fill

To worship His most holy will,

All-righteous and divine,

So lead us, Lord, through peace or strife,

Onward to everlasting life,

To win our high reward:

So may we fight our life long fight,

Strong in Thine own uneartly might,

And reign with Christ our Lord
