Spirit Blest, Who Art Adored

Spirit blest

who art ad­ored

With the Fa­ther and the Word

One eter­nal God and Lord:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Thou by whom the vir­gin bore

Him whom Heav’n and earth ad­ore

Sent our na­ture to re­store:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Thou whom Je­sus

from His throne

Gave to cheer and help His own

That they might not be alone:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Thou whose grace the Church doth fill

Showing her God’s per­fect will

Making Je­sus pre­sent still:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

All Thy gra­cious gifts be­stow

Gifts of wis­dom God to know

Gifts of strength to meet the foe:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

All our ev­il pas­sions kill

Bend aright our stub­born will;

Though we grieve Thee

pa­tient still:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Come to strength­en all the weak

Give Thy cour­age to the meek

Teach our fal­t’ring tongues to speak:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.

Holy

lov­ing

as Thou art

Come

and live with­in our heart;

Nevermore from us de­part:

Hear us

Ho­ly Spir­it.
