Come, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,

Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;

Come with Thy grace and heav'nly aid,

And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

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.

The sev'nfold gifts of grace are Thine;

O Finger of the Hand Divine;

True Promise of the Father Thou,

Who dost the tongue with speech endow.

Thy light to every sense impart,

And shed Thy love in every heart;

Thy own unfailing might supply

To strength our infirmity.
