504 Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire

1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, and lighten with celestial fire.

2 Thou the anointing Spirit art, who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.

3 Thy blessed unction from above is comfort, life, and fire of love.

4 Enable with perpetual light the dullness of our blinded sight.

5 Anoint and cheer our soiled face with the abundance of thy grace.

6 Keep far from foes, give peace at home: where thou art guide, no ill can come.

7 Teach us to know the Father, Son, and thee, of both, to be but One,

8 that through the ages all along, this may be our endless song:

9 praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
