¶Lyrics / Text

O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God, in every need thou bringest aid; thou comest forth from God’s great throne, from God, the Father and the Son; O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God. O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God, increase our faith in our dear Lord; unless thy grace the power should give, none can believe in Christ and live; O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God. O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God, make us to love thy sacred word; the holy flame of love impart, that charity may warm each heart; O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God. O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God, enlighten us by that same word; teach us to know the Father’s love, and his dear Son, who reigns above; O Spirit of Life, O Spirit of God.
