Lyrics

O King en­throned on high,
Thou Com­fort­er di­vine,
Blest Spi­rit of all truth, be nigh
And make us Thine.

Thou art the Source of life,
Thou art our trea­sure store;
Give us Thy peace, and end our strife
For ev­er­more.

Descend, O hea­ven­ly Dove,
Abide with us al­way;
And in the full­ness of Thy love
Cleanse us, we pray.
