1033. Come Holy Ghost, come, Lord our God

1 Come, Holy Ghost, come, Lord our God,
And shed Thy heavenly gifts abroad
On us, and unto every heart
True faith and fervent love impart:
O Lord, Who by Thy heavenly light,
Hast called Thy Church from sinful night,
Out of all nations, tribes, and places;
To Thee we render thanks and praises:
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

2 Thou Light Divine, most gracious Lord!
Revive us by Thy holy word,
And teach Thy flock in truth to call
On God, the Father of us all:
From all strange doctrines us preserve,
No other masters may we serve,
But Christ, Who is our only Saviour;
In Jim we will confide for ever:
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

3 O Holy Ghost, kind Comforter,
Help us, with watchfulness and prayer,
'Midst various trials Thee to obey.
And never from the truth to stray:
O Lord, by Thy almighty grace,
Prepare us so to run our race,
That we, by Thy illuminations,
May gain heaven's glorious habitation:
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
