General (Vol. 3)
Source of Sacred Light
- O Holy Spirit, source of sacred light,
Your radiance conquers gloom and hopelessness,
Your Grace and splendour cutting through the night
To reach poor souls which languish in distress;
Your warmth and comfort sooth my aching heart
Yet it is I who forces us apart:
I come in penitence to plead my cause,
To seek Your peace and all which that ensures. - O source of wisdom past all human art,
The core of calm, the vacuum of desire,
Refresh our souls with all that you impart,
Leading us on to Your celestial fire;
I feel Your presence in my emptiness
But shun You in my straining to impress:
When I return in humble reverence,
Uplift my soul to reach Your eminence.
