Come Holy Ghost, Creator, come, Inspire these souls of Thine

Author: Rabanus Maurus Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come Inspire these souls of Thine; Till every heart which Thou hast made Be filled with grace divine. 2 Thou art the comforter, the gift Of God, and fier of love; The everlasting spring of joy, And unction from above. 3 Thy gifts are manifold, Thou writ'st God's law in each true heart; The promise of the Father, Thou Dost heavenly speech impart. 4 Enlighten our dark souls, till they Thy sacred love embrace; Assist our minds, by nature frail, With Thy celestial grace. 5 Drive far from us the mortal foe, And give us peace within; That, by Thy guidance blest, we may Escape the snares of sin. 6 Teach us the Father to confess, And Son, form death revived, And Thee, with both, O Holy Ghost, Who art from both derived.

O happy soul! that lives on high

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: O happy soul that lives on high While men lie grov'lling here His hopes are fixed above the sky, And faith forbids his fear. His conscience knows no secret stings, While peace and joy combine To form a life whose holy springs Are hidden and divine. He waits in secret on his God, His God in secret sees; Let earth be all in arms abroad, He dwells in heav'nly peace. His pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world and time; Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of sinners climb. He wants no pomp nor royal throne To raise his figure here; Content and pleased to live unknown, Till Christ, his life, appear. He looks to heav'n's eternal hill To meet that glorious day; But patient waits his Savior's will To fetch his soul away.
