Author: John Cosin, 1594-1672; Rhabanus Maurus, 776-856 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #472 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.
2 Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight.
3 Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of thy grace.
Keep far our foes; give peace at home;
Where thou art guide, no ill can come.
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And thee, of both, to be but one;
That through the ages all along
Thy praise may be our endless song!
5 Praise to thine eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
