Creator Spirit, by whose aid by Henry Carey — Lyrics
Creator Spirit, by whose aid
the world’s foundations first were laid,
come, visit every humble mind;
come, pour thy joys on humankind;
from sin and sorrow set us free,
and make thy temples worthy thee.
O Source of uncreated light,
the Father’s promised Paraclete,
thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire,

The text is a prayer to the Holy Spirit, asking for divine guidance and inspiration. It petitions the Spirit to visit and fill humble minds with joy, to free humanity from sin and sorrow, and to sanctify believers as temples of God.
