Text

Come, Holy Ghost, come, Lord our own God,
And shed Thy heavenly gifts abroad
On us, and unto every heart
True faith and fervent love impart.
O Lord, who by Thy heavenly light
Hast called Thy Church from sinful night,
Out of all nations, tribes and places,
To Thee we render thanks and praises; Hallelujah!
