Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Come Holy Spirit, Creator, come,
From Thy bright heav'nly throne,
Come take possession of our souls,
And make them all Thine own.
VERSE 2
Thou who art called the Paraclete,
Best gift of God above,
The living spring, the living fire,
Sweet unction and true love.
VERSE 3
Thou who art sev'nfold in Thy grace,
Finger of God's right hand;
His promise, teaching little ones,
To speak and understand.
VERSE 4
O guide our minds with Thy blest light,
With love our hearts inflame;
And with Thy strength which ne'er decays,
Confirm our mortal frame.
VERSE 5
Far from us drive our deadly foe;
True peace unto us bring;
And through all perils, lead us safe,
Beneath Thy sacred wing.
VERSE 6
Through Thee may we the Father know,
Through Thee th'eternal Son;
And Thee the Spirit of them both
Thrice blessed Three in One.
VERSE 7
All glory to the Father be,
With His coequal Son,
The same to Thee, great Paraclete,
While endless ages run.
