217. Come, Holy Ghost! come, Lord our God!

1 Come, Holy Ghost! come, Lord our God!
And shed thy heav'nly gifts abroad
On us, and unto ev'ry heart
True faith and fervent love impart.
O Lord, who by thy heavn'ly light,
Hast call'd thy church from sinful night,
Out of all nations, tribes, and places;
To thee we render thanks and praises.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

2 Thou Light divine! most gracious Lord!
Revive us by thy holy word,
And teach thy flock in truth to call
On God, the Father of us all:
From all strange doctrines us preserve,
No other masters may we serve,
But Christ, who is our only Saviour!
In him we will confide for ever.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

3 O Holy Ghost! kind Comforter!
Help us, with watchfulness and pray'r,
'Midst various trials thee t' obey,
And never from the truth to stray:
O Lord, by thy almighty grace,
Prepare us so to run our race,
That we, by thy illuminations,
May gain heav'n's glorious habitation.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
