Kom, Gud og Skaber, Helligaand

Representative Text

1 Kom, Gud og Skaber, Helligaand,
Besøg vort Hjerte med din Miskund,
Med Naaden din forny vort Sind,
At i os kjendes Skabning din!

2 Du, som kaldes vor Trøstermand,
Den høieste Gave af Guds Haand,
Din aandelig' Salve selv os med,
Gjør til Guds Naade os bered!

3 Din Guddoms Ild i os optænd,
Vor onde Villie du omvend,
Giv os et Hjerte rent og purt,
Og styrk i os det, du har gjort!

4 Du est syvfold i Gaver skjøn,
Guds Finger paa hans høire Haand,
Du byder Gud Faders hellig Ord
At prædikes over den ganske Jord.

5 Driv langt bort fra os Djævlens List,
Lær os at kjende Jesum Christ,
Og Korset af hans milde Haand
At tage med en villig Aand1

6 Lær os at kjende Faderen vel,
Som sørger for vort Liv og Sjæl,
Sin Søn for os i Døden gav,
At vi skal ei faa evig Straf!

7 Gud Fader og hans kjære Søn,
Som os forhverved' evig Løn,
Og Trøsteren, den Helligaand,
Ske Lov og Pris i alle Land!
