COME, HOLY SPIRIT, CREATOR BLEST!

      Come, Holy Spirit, Creator Blest
      And in our souls take up Your rest;
      Come, with Your grace and Heavenly aid
      To fill the hearts which You have made.

      O Comforter, to You do we cry
      O Heavenly Gift of God Most High
      O Fount of life and Fire of love,
      And sweet Anointing from above!

      You in Your sevenfold Gifts are known;
      You, Finger of God's hand, we own;
      You, Promise of the Father, You,
      Who do the tongue with power imbue

      ] Kindle our sense from above,
      And make our hearts o'erflow with love;
      With patience firm and virtue hight,
      The weakness of our flesh supply.

      Far from us drive the foe we dread,
      And grant us Your true peace instead;
      So shall we not, with You for Guide,
      Turn from the path of life aside.

      O, may Your grace on us bestow
      The Father and the Son to know;
      And You, through endless times confessed,
      Of both the eternal Spirit blest.

      Now to the Father and the Son,
      Who rose from death, be glory given,
      With You, O Holy Comforter,
      Henceforth by all on earth , in Heaven.

      Amen.

    Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created;
    And You shalt renew the face of the earth.

    Let us pray. God, You have taught the hearts of Your faithful people by sending them the light of Your Holy Spirit. Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things and evermore to rejoice in His holy comfort. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
