Hymnal: Christian Hymns #6 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come God, Creator, Holy Ghost,
And visit Thou these souls of men;
Fill them with graces, as Thou dost
Thy creatures make pure again.
2 For Comforter Thy name we call,
Sweet Gift of God most high above,
A holy unction to us all,
A Fount of life, Fire of love.
3 Our minds illumine and refresh,
Deep in our hearts let love burn bright,
Thou know'st the weakness of our flesh,
O strengthen us with Thy might.
4 Thou with Thy wondrous sevenfold gifts
The finger art of God's right hand;
The Father's word thou sendest swift
On tongues of fire to each land.
5 Drive far from us our wily foe;
Grant us Thy blessed peace within,
That in Thy footsteps we may go,
And shun the dark ways of sin.
6 Teach us the Father well to know,
Likewise His only Son, our Lord;
Thyself to us believing show,
Spirit of both, aye adored!
7 Praise to the Father, and the Son,
Who from the dead is risen again;
Praise to the Comforter be done
Both now and ever. Amen. Topics: TheChurch Year Whitsuntide; Doxologies; Holy Ghost Comforter; Holy Ghost Prayed for; Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: COME GOD, CREATOR, HOLY GHOST
