Come

Ho­ly Ghost

God and Lord!

Be all Thy grac­es now out­poured

On each be­liev­er’s mind and heart;

Thy fer­vent love to them im­part.

Lord

by the brigh­tness of Thy light

Thou in the faith dost men unite

Of ev­ery land and eve­ry tongue;

This to Thy praise

O Lord

our God

be sung.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Thou ho­ly light

Guide di­vine

Oh

cause the Word of life to shine!

Teach us to know our God aright

And call Him Fa­ther with de­light.

From ev­ery er­ror keep us free;

Let none but Christ our Mas­ter be

That we in liv­ing faith ab­ide

In Him

our Lord

with all our might con­fide.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Thou ho­ly fire

com­fort true

Grant us the will Thy work to do

And in Thy serv­ice to abide;

Let tri­als turn us not aside.

Lord

by Thy pow­er pre­pare each heart

And to our weak­ness strength im­part

That brave­ly here we may con­tend

Through life and death to Thee

our Lord

as­cend.

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
