Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
Author: Charlemagne, d. 814; Unknown Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 239 hymnals 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 our heart and cheer our 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!

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
Here, in Thy Name, eternal God
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God,
We build this earthly house for Thee;
O choose it for Thy fixed abode,
And guard it from all error free.
2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face,
And dying sinners pray to live,
Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place,
And when Thou hearest, O forgive.
3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim
The blessèd gospel of Thy Son,
Still, by the power of His great Name,
Be mighty signs and wonders done.
4 Thy glory never hence depart;
Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone;
Thy kingdom come to every heart;
In every bosom fix Thy throne.
Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Used With Tune: ST. OSWALD
Here, in Thy Name, eternal God
O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all, O Lord, whose secret minds
Some dark delusion hurts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek; Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold;
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold,
Unite all those who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore
And endless praise to Thee be given
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: ST. OSWALD
O Christ, our true and only Light
