Come God, Creator, Holy Ghost

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Invocation Lyrics: 1 Come God, Creator, Holy Ghost, And visit Thou these souls of men; Fill them with graces, as Thou dost Thy creatures make pure again. 2 For Comforter Thy name we call, Sweet Gift of God most high above, A holy unction to us all, A Fount of life, Fire of love. 3 Our minds illumine and refresh, Deep in our hearts let love burn bright, Thou know'st the weakness of our flesh, O strengthen us with Thy might. 4 Thou with Thy wondrous sevenfold gifts The finger art of God's right hand; The Father's word thou sendest swift On tongues of fire to each land. 5 Drive far from us our wily foe; Grant us Thy blessed peace within, That in Thy footsteps we may go, And shun the dark ways of sin. 6 Teach us the Father well to know, Likewise His only Son, our Lord; Thyself to us believing show, Spirit of both, aye adored! 7 Praise to the Father, and the Son, Who from the dead is risen again; Praise to the Comforter be done Both now and ever. Amen. Used With Tune: COME GOD, CREATOR, HOLY GHOST

Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round

Author: John White Chadwick (1840-1904) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Invocation of Lyrics: 1 Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round of circling planets singing on their way; guide of the nations from the night profound into the glory of the perfect day; rule in our hearts, that we may ever be guided and strengthened and upheld by thee. 2 We are of thee, the children of thy love, the brothers of thy well-belovèd Son; descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove, into our hearts, that we may be as one: as one with thee, to whom we ever tend; as one with him, our Brother and our Friend. 3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong, one in our love of all things sweet and fair, one with the joy that breaketh into song, one with the grief that trembles into prayer, one in the power that makes thy children free to follow truth, and thus to follow thee. 4 O clothe us with thy heavenly armour, Lord, thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine; our inspiration be thy constant word; we ask no victories that are not thine: give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be; enough to know that we are serving thee. Scripture: John 17:20-23 Used With Tune: SONG 1

Come, living God, when least expected

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Invocation Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected, when minds are dull and hearts are cold, through sharpening word and warm affection revealing truths as yet untold. 2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you to speak again in startling ways; break through the words in which we bind you to resurrect our lifeless praise. 3 Come now, as once you came to Moses within the bush alive with flame, or to Elijah on the mountain, by silence pressing home your claim. 4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you in sight or sound or printed page, and let us greet you in our neighbours, in flaming youth or quiet age. 5 Then, from our gloom, your Son still rising will thaw the frozen heart of pride and flash upon us through the shadows to spread his resurrection wide. 6 And we will share his radiant brightness and, blazing through the dread of night, illuminate by love and reason, for men in darkness, faith's delight. Used With Tune: SUNSET
