Dawning Light - O Holy Spirit, Grant Us Grace Lyrics

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 near at hand
We at his cross may firmly stand
And there find our salvation.

Help us that we your saving Word
In faithful hearts may treasure
Let e'er that bread of life afford
New grace in richest measure
Make us to die to ev'ry sin
Each day create us new within
That fruits of faith may flourish

Then when our earthly race is run
Death's bitter hour impending
May your good work in us begun
Continue till life's ending
Until we gladly may commend
Our souls into our Savior's hand
To rest in peace eternal
To rest in peace eternal
