Thy Holy Spirit
PoemHymn★★★Thy Holy Spirit, Lord alone
Can turn our heart from sin,
His power alone can sanctify
And keep us pure within.
Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, alone
Can deeper love inspire,
His power alone within our souls
Can fight the sacred fire.
Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, can give
The grace we need this hour
And while we wait, O Spirit, come,
In sanctifying power.
The point
A prayer-poem asking the Holy Spirit alone to turn the heart from sin, deepen love, and sanctify believers within.
