Prayer To The Holy Spirit – John Milton

Holy Spirit,

I know you prefer before any other temple or building,

To live in an upright heart.

Teach and instruct me,

For you were there in the beginning,

Over the abyss before the earth was formed.

Holy Spirit of Christ,

Live in me, your wisdom in me, do your work in me.

Amen.
