Come, Holy Ghost, in love
"But the counselor, the Holy Spirit will teach you all things'. Jn. 14:26
Come, Holy Ghost, in love,
Shed on us from above.
Thine own bright ray:
Divinely good thou art;
Thy sacred gifts impart.
To gladden each sad heart:
Oh, come today!
Come, tenderest friend and blest,
Our most delightful Guest,
With soothing power:
Rest, which the weary know.
Shade, 'mid the noontide glow;
Peace, when deep griefs o'erflow:
Cheer us this hour.
Come, light serene and still,
Our inmost bossoms fill;
Dwell in each breast!
We know no dawn but thine,
Send forth thy beams divine
On our dark souls to shine,
And make us blest.
Exalt our low desires.
Extinguish passion's fires,
Heal every wound;
Our stubborn spirits bend.
Our icy coldness end,
Our devious steps attend.
While heavenward bound.
Come, all the faithful bless;
Let all who Christ confess
His praise employ;
Give virtue rich reward;
Victorious death accord.
And, with our glorious Lord,
Eternal joy.
