Holy Spirit, Lead Us Now Hymn Lyrics

1 Holy Spirit, lead us now

Boldly to the throne of grace ;

While our heads in prayer we bow,

Let Thy presence fill this place :

Holy Spirit, Heavenly Guide,

Lead us to the Crucified !

2 This is now our time of need,

This is now the day of grace ;

Now our souls with manna feed

Ere we leave this sacred place :

Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,

Lead us to the feast of love !

3 At the blessed mercy-seat

Peace and joy are freely given ;

While we wait at Jesus’ feet,

Make this place the gate of heaven :

Holy Spirit, Heavenly Friend,

Now upon our hearts descend !

4 Weak and sinful though we be,

Jesus’ blood can cleanse from sin ;

At the fountain full and free

Wash and make us pure within :

Holy Spirit, Cleansing fire,

Burn up every base desire !
