Lyrics:
Give me more, Lord, of Thy nature; let Thy strength with me abide; so my lamp may burn more brightly, holy oil for me provide. For what gifts and talents, if no light from Thee I've got? What would name and form avail me had I the anointing not!
Holy Spirit, Thou dost teach me, fill me with Thy gift I pray; be my constant, calm adviser, teach me graciously Thy way. Meek and kind make Thou my nature that yet oft is rough and hard, that I may my Master's image always as the best regard.
Cleanse me from all sin, dear Saviour, dwell Thou ever in my soul; fully. Lord, direct my nature, let Thy Spirit me control. Thou dost give what Thou hast promised; thy salvation I await, and Thy blessing thro Thy teaching, by Thy promise, is my fate.
