Author: J. Cosin Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #286 (1920) Hymnal Title: The Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire.
2 Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.
3 Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
4 Enable with perpetual light
The dulness of our blinded sight.
5 Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of Thy grace.
6 Keep far our foes, give peace at home
Where Thou art Guide, no ill can come.
7 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee of both to be but One,
8 That, through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song,
Praise to Thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
