Come, Holy Ghost, Our Souls Inspire

Come

Ho­ly Ghost

our souls in­spire

And light­en with ce­les­ti­al fire;

Thou the an­oint­ing Spir­it art

Who dost Thy sev’n­fold gifts im­part.

Praise to Thy eter­nal mer­it

Father

Son

and Ho­ly Spir­it.

Thy bless­èd unc­tion from ab­ove

Is com­fort

life

and fire of love;

Enable with per­pe­tu­al light

The dull­ness of our blind­ed sight.

Anoint and cheer our soil­èd face

With the ab­und­ance of Thy grace;

Keep far our foes

give peace at home;

Where Thou art guide

no ill can come.

Teach us to know the Fa­ther

Son

And Thee

of both

to be but One;

That through the ag­es all along

This

this may be our end­less song.
