  1. 1Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
  2. Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;
  3. Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
  4. And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
  5. 2To Thee, the Comforter, we cry:
  6. To Thee, the gift of God Most High;
  7. O fount of life, the fire of love,
  8. The soul's anointing from above.
  9. 3The sacred sevenfold grace is Thine,
  10. Dread Finger of the Hand divine:
  11. The promise of the Father Thou!
  12. Who dost the tongue with power endow.
  13. 4Thy light to every sense impart,
  14. And shed Thy love in every heart;
  15. Thine own unfailing might supply
  16. To strengthen our infirmity.
  17. 5Drive far away our ghostly foe,
  18. And Thine abiding peace bestow,
  19. If Thou be our preventing guide,
  20. No evil can our steps betide.
  21. 6Amen.
