Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-87 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #121 (1958) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, in love,
Shed on us from above
Thine own bright ray;
Divinely good thou art;
Thy sacred gifts impart
To gladden each sad heart;
O come today.
2 Come, tenderest friend and best,
Our most delightful guest,
With soothing power;
Rest, which the weary know,
Shade, 'mid the noontide glow,
Peace, when deep griefs overflow;
Cheer us, this hour. A-men.
3 Come, Light serene, and still
Our inmost bosoms fill;
Dwell in each breast;
We know no dawn but thine;
Send forth thy beams divine,
On our dark souls to shine,
And make us blest.
4 Come, all the faithful bless:
Let all, who Christ confess,
His praise employ;
Give virtue's rich reward;
Victorious death accord,
And, with our glorious Lord,
Eternal joy!
Amen.
