1
Come Holy Ghost our souls inspire
And lighten with celestial fire
Thou the anointing Spirit art
Who dost Thy sev’nfold gifts impart
Praise to Thy eternal merit
Father Son and Holy Spirit
2
Thy blessèd unction from above
Is comfort life and fire of love
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight
Praise to Thy eternal merit
Father Son and Holy Spirit
3
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
Praise to Thy eternal merit
Father Son and Holy Spirit
4
Teach us to know the Father Son
And Thee of both to be but One
That through the ages all along
This this may be our endless song
Praise to Thy eternal merit
Father Son and Holy Spirit
