Psalmodia Germanica ‎#42

42. Come Holy Ghost! Come, Lord our God!

I Come, Holy Ghost! Come, Lord our God!
Spread Faith and Love divine abroad;
And fill thy longing Peoples Minds
With precious Gifts of sundry Kinds.
O Lord, who, by thy heavn'ly Light,
Hast call'd thy Church from sinful Night,
Out of all Nations, Tribes, and Tongues,
Thy Praise shall make our choicest Songs:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

II Thou Light of Glory! gracious Lord!
Revive us by thy holy Word,
And teach thy Flock in Truth to call
On Thee, the Father of us all.
Delusive Errors far remove,
And guide us always by that Love,
Which, keeping close to JESUS Path,
Rejects all other Guides of Faith.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

III Thou great Dispenser of that Love,
Which sent Redemption from above,
O! Grant us Faith and Constancy,
To conquer Sin, and yield to Thee.
O Lord! by thy Almighty Grace,
Prepare us so to run our Race,
That we, from Bonds of Sin kept free,
May gain a blest Eternity.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
