L.M. [775]Mendon: German traditional; Arr. Samuel Dyer, 1828 Simon Browne, 1720; Alt. Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove, With light and comfort from above; Be thou our guardian, thou our guide; O'er every thought and step preside. The light of truth to us display, And make us know and choose thy way; Plant holy fear in every heart, That we from thee may ne'er depart. Lead us to Christ, the living Way, Nor let us from his precepts stray; Lead us to holiness, the road That we must take to dwell with God. Lead us to heaven, that we may share Fullness of joy for ever there; Lead us to God, our final rest, To be with him for ever blest. Amen. |
