Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, Come
Author: Anonymous; Rhabanus Maurus Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come
From Thy bright heav’nly throne;
Come, take possession of our souls,
And make them all Thine own.
2. Thou who art called the Paraclete,
Best gift of God above,
The living spring, the living fire,
Sweet unction and true love.
3. Thou who art sevenfold in Thy grace,
Finger of God’s right hand;
His promise, teaching little ones
To speak and understand.
4. O guide our minds with Thy blest light,
With love our hearts inflame;
And with Thy strength, which ne’er decays,
Confirm our mortal frame.
5. Far from us drive our deadly foe;
True peace unto us bring;
And through all perils lead us safe
Beneath Thy sacred wing.
6. Through Thee may we the Father know,
Through Thee th’eternal Son,
And Thee the Spirit of them both,
Thrice-blessèd Three in One.
7. All glory to the Father be,
With His co-equal Son:
The same to Thee, great Paraclete,
While endless ages run. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Hymns for the Year, 1867

The Tender Love a Father Has
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
for all his children dear
such love the Lord bestows on those
who worship him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
and all our frailty knows;
our life is like the tender grass,
and as the flower it grows.
3 The flower is withered by the wind
that smites with blighting breath;
so we are quickly swept away
before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
from age to age the same,
displayed to all who do his will
and reverence his name.
5 Those who his gracious covenant keep
the Lord will ever bless;
their children's children shall rejoice
to see his righteousness.

And to my inmost soul make known
The glories of Thy name.

Fountain of being, and of power,
And great in majesty.

But let me rather prove
That name in-spoken to my heart,
That favorite name of Love.

In this polluted breast;
Mercy is Thy distinguished name,
Which suits a sinner best.

Our sin implores Thy grace;
And Thou art merciful to all
Our lost, apostate race. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762, cento
