“Uphold me with thy free spirit.” Ps. 51. 12

1 Gracious Spirit, Dove divine,
  Let thy light within me shine;
  All my guilty fears remove,
  With atoning blood and love.

2 Speak thy pardoning grace to me;
  Set the burdened sinner free;
  Lead me to the Lamb of God;
  Wash me in his precious blood.

3 Life and peace to me impart;
  Seal salvation on my heart;
  Breathe thyself into my breast,
  Earnest of immortal rest.

4 Guard me round on every side;
  Save me from self-righteous pride;
  Me with Jesus’ mind inspire;
  Melt me with celestial fire.

5 Thou my dross and tin consume;
  Let thy inward kingdom come;
  All my prayer and praise suggest;
  Dwell and reign within my breast.
