1 Kom, Hellige Aand, Herre Gud!
Gyd dine Naadegaver ud,
I Sjæl og Hjerte os dem send,
Og Kjærlighednes Ild optænd!
O, Herre ved din Glød faa klar
Til Troen ind du samlet har
Al Verdens Folk og Slægter mange
Og Tungemaal med Takkesange!
Halleluja, Halleluja!

2 Du hellige Lys, lad paa Jord
Oplyse os dit Livsens Ord,
Og lær os Gud at kjende grant,
Med Faders Navn ham kalde sandt!
O Herre, vogt vor Lærdoms Vei,
At andet vi forkynde ei,
End Jesus og hans Ord det rene,
Og sætte Tro til ham alene!
Halleluja, Halleluja!

3 Du hellige Ild, søde Trøst,
Gjør brændende af Mod vort Bryst,
At fra den Pagt, med Gud er gjort,
Os Korset aldrig skræmmer bort!
O Herre, med din Kraft os hærd,
Styrk Vanmagt vor paa denne Færd,
At mandelig vi stride sammen
I Liv og Død til Himlen! Amen.
Halleluja, Halleluja!
