CHORUS
                 Lay thy Spirit upon my soul,
               Make me as thy will ordains me;
        Make me pure in all things; free of my transgressions,
                  Lay thy Spirit upon me.
                          2
               Meanwhile Christ is interceding,
               All the while I'm humbly praying;
               Grant the gift I need so promptly,
                  Lay thy Spirit upon me.
                          3
                I do not wish to offend thee,
                I shall live only to please thee;
               In my heart I shall uphold thee,
                  Lay thy Spirit upon me.
                          4
               Do not leave me here an orphan,
                Far from thee I'll surely perish;
              Lord, embrace me to your bosom,
                  Lay thy Spirit upon me.
