Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest

Author: Richard Mant; Edward Caswall Appears in 284 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Lyrics: Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest, Vouchsafe within our souls to rest; Come with thy grace and heavenly aid, And fill the hearts which thou hast made. To thee, the Comforter, we cry; To thee, the gift of God most high; The Fount of Life, the fire of love, The soul's anointing from above. The sacred, sevenfold grace is thine, Dread Finger of the Hand divine: The promise of the Father thou! Who dost the tongue with power endow. Thy light to every sense impart, And shed thy love in every heart; Thine own unfailing might supply To strengthen our infirmity. 342 Drive far away our ghostly foe, And thine abiding peace bestow; If thou be our preventing guide, No evil can our steps betide. Amen. Used With Tune: VENI CREATOR Text Sources: Compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861, translators

Holy Spirit, Lord of Love

Author: William D. Maclagen Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Confirmation Lyrics: Holy Spirit, Lord of love, Thou who camest from above, Gifts of blessing to bestow On thy waiting Church below; Once again in love draw near To thy children gathered here. From their bright baptismal day, Through their childhood's onward way, Thou hast been their constant Guide, Watching ever by their side; May they now till life shall end, Choose and know thee as their Friend. Give them light thy truth to see, Give them life to live for thee, Daily power to conquer sin, Patient faith the crown to win; Shield them from temptation's breath, Keep them faithful unto death. When the holy vow is made, When the hands are on them laid, Come, in this most solemn hour, With thy sevenfold gifts of power, Come, thou blessèd Spirit, come, Make each heart thy happy home. Amen.
