1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointed Spirit art,
Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.
Refrain:
All praise to Thy eternal merit,
O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
2 Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life and fire of love;
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight. [Refrain]
3 Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of Thy grace;
Keep far our foes, give peace at home;
Where Thou art Guide no ill can come. [Refrain]
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee, of both, to be but One;
That thro' the ages all along,
This, this may be our endless song. [Refrain]
AMEN.
