148. Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire

1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost Thy seven-fold gifts impart,
Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love,
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.

2 Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight:
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,
Where Thou art Guide no ill can come.

3 Teach us to know the Father, Son
And Thee, of Both, to be but One;
That through the ages all along
This may be our endless song,
Praise to Thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
