1 O Holy Spirit! now descend on me, As showers of rain upon a thirsty ground; Cause me to flourish as a spreading tree, May all Thy precious fruits in me be found. 2 Be Thou my "Teacher" -- to my soul reveal The breadth and depth and height of Jesus’ love. Now on my soul Thy blest instruction seal, Raising my thought and heart to things above. 3 Be Thou my "Comforter" -- when I’m distress'd, Oh, gently soothe my sorrows, calm my grief, Help me to find upon my Savior’s breast, In every hour of trial, sure relief. 4 Be Thou my "Guide" into "all truth" divine, Give me increasing knowledge of my God; Show me the glories that in Jesus shine, And make my heart the place of His abode. 5 Blest Spirit! I would yield myself to Thee Do more for me than I can ask or think; Let me Thy holy habitation be, And daily deeper from Thy fullness drink. &mdash; Christina Forsyth (1825-1859)
