1 Come, Holy Ghost, come, Lord our God,
And shed thy heavenly gifts abroad
On us, and unto every heart
True faith and fervent love impart;
O Lord, who by thy heavnely light,
Hast called thy church from sinful night,
Out of all nations, tribes, and places;
To thee we render thanks and praises:
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.
3 O Holy Ghost, kind Comforter,
Help us, with watchfulness and prayer,
'Midst various trials thee to 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 heaven's glorious habitation:
Hallelujah.
