Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire

And lighten with celestial fire;

Thou the anointing Spirit art,

Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.

Thy blessed unction from above

Is comfort, life and fire of love;

Enable with perpetual light

The dullness of our blinded sight.

Anoint and cheer our soilèd face

With the abundance of thy grace;

Keep far our foes, give peace at home:

Where thou art Guide no ill can come.

Teach us to know the Father, Son,

And thee of Both, to be but One,

That, through the ages all along

This may be our endless song,

Praise to thine eternal merit,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
