Come, Holy Ghost, in Love

Author: Unknown; Ray Palmer, 1808-87 Hymnal: ELH1996 #11 (1996) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 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. O come today! 2 Come, tend'rest Friend and best, Our most delightful Guest, With soothing pow'r. Rest which the weary know, Shade mid the noontide glow, Peace when deep griefs o'erflow, Cheer us this hour. 3 Come, Light serene and still, Our inmost bosoms 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. 4 Exalt our low desires, Extinguish passion's fires, Heal ev'ry wound. Our stubborn spirits bend, Our icy coldness end, Our devious steps attend While heav'nward bound. 5 Come, all the faithful bless; Let all who Christ confess His praise employ. Give virtue's rich reward, Victorious death accord And, with our glorious Lord, Eternal joy. Topics: Invocation Languages: English Tune Title: ITALIAN HYMN
