A sampling of the verses:

Verse 1:
O God the Holy Spirit,
Eternal one of three,
My comforter and teacher,
Be merciful to me.
You hovered over chaos
The land and sea to part
So manifest Your power
To calm my restless heart.

Verse 3:
O God the Holy Spirit,
Put Jesus on display:
Remind me how my Savior
Took all my guilt away.
My sins were all forgiven
And satisfaction made;
Atonement was completed,
My captive soul was saved.

David does a great job not only of composing this hymn, but also following the thought of the original prayer, which can be difficult to do. If you read through the prayer you can see how well he has done! The melody is very singable, as well.

ALSO: Are you aware of other songs about the work of the spirit in pointing us to Christ, or his broader work within our lives? I’m not aware of too many. Feel free to suggest them in the comments section below.
