LyicsGreat Father of each perfect gift,
Behold thy servants wait;
With longing eyes and lifted hands,
We flock around thy gate.
O shed abroad thy royal gift,
Thy Spirit from above,
To bless our eyes with sacred light,
And fire our hearts with love.
With speedy flight may he descend,
And solid comfort bring,
And o'er our languid souls extend
His all-reviving wing.
