Author: John Cosin; Rabanus Mauras Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #16 (1977) First Line: Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire.
2 Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost thy sev'nfold gifts impart.
3 Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
4 Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight.
5 Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of thy grace.
6 Keep far our foes, give peace at home:
Where thou art guide, no ill can come.
7 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And thee, of both, to be but One,
8 That through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song:
9 Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS
Come, Holy Ghost, Our Souls Inspire
