Spiritus Sanctus

[Each night of the Gathering, one of our team members is reading from The Valley of Vision which is a collection of Puritan prayers.]

O HOLY SPIRIT,

As the sun is full of light,
the ocean full of water,
Heaven full of glory, so may my heart be
full of thee.
Vain are all divine purposes of love
and the redemption wrought by Jesus
except thou work within,
regenerating by thy power,
giving me eyes to see Jesus,
showing me the realities of the unseen world.
Give me thyself without measure,
as an unimpaired fountain,
as inexhaustible riches.
I bewail my coldness, poverty, emptiness,
imperfect vision, languid service,
prayerless prayers, praiseless praises.
Suffer me not to grieve or resist thee.
Come as power,
to expel every rebel lust, to reign supreme
and keep me thine;

For the entire prayer, go here.
