When my spirit grows weary or alone, When in my breast there burns no former flame, Come to me in Your love, my God! O Holy Spirit! Give me life again!
When my path lies unclear before me And sometimes doubts press heavy on my heart, I beg You: Lord, come near! O Gracious God, show me the way!
When in the night I weep before You For those I love and hold most dear, Come, my Comforter, O Holy Spirit! And grant my soul peace in earthly sorrow.
My path is thorny, thorns surround me here and there… But I can see my goal—and homeward I proceed! I know, O Father, that You wait for me, Where I shall dwell with You eternally!
