Spirit of God within me, Possess my human frame; Fan the dull embers of my heart, Stir up the living flame Strive till that image Adam lost, New minted and restored In shining splendor brightly bears The likeness of the Lord 1. Spirit of truth within me, Possess my thought and mind Lighten anew the inward eye, by Satan rendered blind, Shine on the words that wisdom speaks/And grant me power to see The truth made known to all in Christ/And in that truth be free. 2. Spirit of love within me, Possess my hand and heart break through the bonds of self concern, That seeks to stand apart; Grant me the love that suffers long, That hopes, believes and bears, The love fulfilled in sacrifice, That cares as Jesus cares.
