Full Lyrics
SEE THE PARACLETE
VERSE 1
See the Paraclete descending
Burning with celestial fire;
Grace and truth on Him attending,
Man with heav'nly love inspire.
CHORUS
Let us alleluia singing,
Offer Him our grateful praise
He all heav'nly graces bringing,
Merits everlasting Praise.
VERSE 2
Timid souls no longer fearing,
Now the greatest danger scorn,
Midst their sorrows persevering,
Show themselves in Christ new born.
VERSE 3
Source of love and heart inflaming,
With true zeal and virtue pure:
Grant we may in heaven singing,
Sing the praise forevermore.
SPIRIT OF MERCY, TRUTH, AND LOVE
VERSE 1
Spirit of mercy, truth, and love,
O shed thine influence from above;
And still from age to age convey
The wonders of this Sacred day.
VERSE 2
In every clime, by every tongue,
By God's surpassing glory sung;
Let all the listening earth be taught
The acts our great Redeemer wrought.
VERSE 3
Unfailing comfort, heavenly guide,
Still o'er the holy Church preside;
Still let mankind thy blessings prove,
Spirit of Mercy, truth, and love.
