Come, Holy Ghost, Creator,
come,
From thy bright heav’nly throne,
Come take possession of our
souls,
And make them all thy own.
Thou who art called the
Paraclete,
Best gift of God above,
The living spring, the living fire,
Sweet unction and true love.
Thou who art sevenfold in thy
grace,
Finger of God’s right hand
His promise teaching little ones
To speak an understand.
O guide our minds with thy
blessed light,
With love our hearts inflame;
And with thy strength, which
never decays
Confirm our mortal frame.
Far from us drive our deadly foe;
True peace unto us bring;
And through all perils lead us
safe
Beneath thy sacred wing.
Through thee may we the Father
know,
Through thee the eternal Son,
And thee, the Spirit of them
both,
Thrice-blessed Three in One.
All glory to the Father be,
With his coequal Son;
The same to thee, great
Paraclete,
While endless ages run.
Amen.
