Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #382 (1913) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 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 o'erflow,
Cheer us this hour!
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 Exalt our low desires;
Extinguish passion's fires;
Heal every wound:
Our stubborn spirits bend;
Our icy coldness end;
Our devious steps attend,
While heavenward bound.
5 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! Topics: The Church Year Pentecost; The Church Year Pentecost; Beginning of Service; Holy Ghost Our Comforter Tune Title: [Come, Holy Ghost, in love]
