Author: Rabanus Maurus, 9th c.; John Cosin Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #231 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 mortal sight.
3 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and thee, of both, to be but one;
that through the ages all along
this may be our endless song:
4 Praise to thine eternal merit,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen. Topics: Holy Spirit; Church Year Pentecost Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-14 Languages: English Tune Title: VENI, CREATOR SPIRITUS
