Creator Spirit, By Whose Aid

Creator Spirit, by whose aid
The world’s foundations first were laid,

Come, visit ev’ry humble mind;
Come, pour Your joys on humankind;

From sin and sorrow set us free;
May we Your living temples be.

O Source of uncreated light,
The bearer of God’s gracious might,

Thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire,
Our hearts with heav’nly love inspire;

Your sacred, healing message bring
To sanctify us as we sing.

Giver of grace, descend from high;
Your sev’nfold gifts to us supply;

Help us eternal truths receive
And practice all that we believe;

Give us Yourself that we may see
The glory of the Trinity.

Immortal honor, endless fame
Attend the almighty Father’s name;

The Savior-Son be glorified,
Who for all humankind has died;

To You, O Paraclete, we raise
Unending songs of thanks and praise.
