Mission of St. Clare logo Come, Gracious Spirit

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.
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.
That we from God may ne'er depart.

Lead us to holiness, the road
which we must tke to dwell with God
lead us to Christ, the living way
nor let us from His pastures stray.
Nor let us from His pastures stray.

Lead us to God our final rest
to be with Him forever blest
lead us to heaven, its bliss to share
fulless of joy forever there.
Fulless of joy forever there.

Words: Simon Browne, 1720
