O Ho­ly Spi­rit, grant us grace
That we our Lord and Sav­ior
In faith and fer­vent love em­brace
And tru­ly serve Him ev­er,
So that when death is draw­ing nigh,
We to His op­en wounds may fly
And find in them sal­va­tion.

Help us that we Thy sav­ing Word
In faith­ful hearts may trea­sure;
Let e’er that Bread of Life afford
New grace in rich­est mea­sure.
Yea, let us die to ev­ery sin,
For Heav’n cre­ate us new with­in
That fruits of faith may flour­ish.

And when our earth­ly race is run,
Death’s bit­ter hour im­pend­ing,
Then may Thy work in us be­gun
Continue un­til life’s end­ing.
Until we glad­ly may com­mend
Our souls into our Sav­ior’s hand
To rest in peace eter­nal.
