634. Come, Lord, to our souls come down

1 Come, Lord, to our souls come down,
through the gospel speaking;
let your words, your cross and crown,
lighten all our seeking.

2 Drive out darkness from the heart,
banish pride and blindness;
plant in every inward part
truthfulness and kindness.

3 Eyes be open, spirits stirred,
minds new truth receiving;
make us, Lord, by your own word,
more and more believing.
