| 1. Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;
Come with Thy grace
and heavenly aid
And fill the hearts
which Thou hast made.
2. To Thee, the Comforter, we cry,
To Thee, the Gift of God Most High,
The Fount of life, the Fire of love,
The soul's Anointing from above.
3. O Finger of the hand divine,
the sevenfold gifts of grace are thine;
true promise of the Father thou,
who dost the tongue
with power endow.
4. The sevenfold gifts
of grace are Thine,
O Finger of the Hand Divine;
True promise of the Father Thou,
Who dost the tongue
with speech endow.
5. Thy light to every thought impart
And shed Thy love in every heart;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate.
6. Drive far away our wily Foe
And Thine abiding peace bestow;
If Thou be our protecting Guide,
No evil can our steps betide.
7. Make Thou to us the Father known,
Teach us the eternal Son to won
And Thee, whose
name we ever bless,
Of both the Spirit, to confess.
8. Grant us through Thee, O Holy One,
To know the Father and the Son;
And this be our unchanging creed,
That Thou dost from them Both proceed.
9. Praise we the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, with them One;
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from
the Spirit flow! Amen.
