Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And make our hearts Your place of rest;
And make our hearts Your place of rest;
Come with Your grace and heav’nly aid,
And fill the hearts which You have made.
And fill the hearts which You have made.
To You, the Counselor, we cry,
To You, the gift of God Most High;
To You, the gift of God Most High;
The fount of life, the fire of love,
The soul’s anointing from above.
The soul’s anointing from above.
In You, with graces sevenfold,
We God’s almighty hand behold
We God’s almighty hand behold
While You with tongues of fire proclaim
To all the world His holy name.
To all the world His holy name.
Your light to ev’ry thought impart,
And shed Your love in ev’ry heart;
And shed Your love in ev’ry heart;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate.
With deathless might invigorate.
Drive far away our wily foe,
And Your abiding peace bestow;
And Your abiding peace bestow;
With You as our protecting guide,
No evil can with us abide.
No evil can with us abide.
