Author: John Cosin Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #142a (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointing Spirit art
Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.
2 Thy blessèd unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight.
3 Anoint our heart and cheer our face
With the abundance of Thy grace.
Keep far our foes; give peace at home;
Where Thou art Guide, no ill can come.
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee, of Both, to be but One;
That through the ages all along
Thy praise may be our endless song!
Praise to Thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Whitsunday-The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: VENI CREATOR
