Come God Creator Holy GhostB
Visit the heart of all thy menC
Fill them with grace the way thou know'stD
What was thine make so againC
-
Our Comforter to soothe or chideE
The blessed gift of highest GodF
A ghostly chrism to us appliedE
Live streams fire love spread abroadG
-
O kindle in our minds a lightH
Give in our hearts love's glowing giftI
Our weak flesh known to thee arightI
With thy strength and grace upliftI
-
In giving gifts thou art sevenfoldI
The finger thou on God's right handI
His word by thee right soon is toldI
With clov'n tongues in every landI
-
Drive far the cunning of the foeJ
Thy grace bring peace and make us wholeK
That we glad after thee may goJ
And shun that which hurts the soulK
-
Teach us to know the Father rightI
And Jesus Christ his son that soJ
We may with faith be filled quiteI
Spirit of both thee to knowJ
-
Praise God the Father and the SonL
Who from the dead arose in powerM
Like praise to the Consoling OneL
Evermore and every hour AmenC

Come Holy Spirit Lord and GodI
Fill full with thine own gracious goodI
Thy faithful ones' heart mind desireM
Light in them of thy love the fireM
O Lord through thy light flashing fastI
Into the faith thou gathered hastI
People of all tongues under heavenL
That to thy glory Lord be givenL
Halleluja HallelujaN
-
Thou holy light retreat from strifeO
Cause shine on us the word of lifeO
That we the truth of God gatherM
Call him heartily our FatherM
O Lord protect us from strange loreP
That we for teachers seek no moreP
But with true faith Jesus solelyQ
And him with all our might trust whollyQ
Halleluja HallelujaN
-
Thou holy fire thou comfort sweetI
Now help us with good cheer us meetI
That in thy service nought shake usR
Trouble never leave thee make usR
O Lord by thy might us prepareS
And make the weak flesh strong to bearS
That we strive like knights campaigningT
Through death and life to thee strainingT
Halleluja HallelujaN

Footnote The Scotch warsle would be perfectI
