Spirit of mercy, truth, and love

Spirit of mercy, truth and love,
O shed thine influence from above,
and still from age to age convey
the wonders of this sacred day.

In ev'ry clime, by ev'ry tongue,
be God's surpassing glory sung;
let all the list'ning earth be taught
the acts our great Redeemer wrought.

Unfailing comfort, heav'nly guide,
still o'er thy holy Church preside;
let humankind thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth and love.
