1 Come, Holy ghost, Creator blest, And in our hearts take up thy rest; Come with thy grace and heav’nly aid To fill the hearts which thou hast made.
2 O Comforter, to thee we cry, Thou heav’nly gift of God most high; Thou fount of life, and fire of love, And sweet anointing from above.
3 O Holy Ghost, through thee alone, Know we the Father and the Son; Be this our firm unchanging creed, That thou dost from them both proceed.
4 Praise we the Lord, Father and Son, And Holy Spirit with them one; And may the Son on us bestow All gifts that from the Spirit flow.
