COME, HOLY GHOST; CREATOR, come, Inspire the souls of Thine;
Till ev'ry heart which Thou hast made Is fill'd with grace divine.
Thou art the Comforter, the gift
Of God, and fire of love;
The everlasting spring of joy,
And unction from above.
Thy gifts are manifold, Thou writ'st
GOD's laws in each true heart;
The promise of the FATHER, Thou
Dost heav'nly speech impart.
Enlighten our dark souls, till they
Thy sacred love embrace;
Assist our minds, by nature frail,
With Thy celestial grace.
Drive far from us the mortal foe,
And give us peace within ;
That, by Thy guidance bless'd, we may Escape the snares of sin.
ach us the FATHER to confess.
I SON, rom death reviv d:
them both, Thee, HOLY GHOST.
By the Cross, sad vigil keeping
A FAIRER SUN is risen on earth
Alleluia! best and sweetest
All people that on earth do dwell
All ye who seek, in hope and love
And now, with shades of night opprest
Angels, from the realms of glory
As pants the hart for cooling streams
As the wolf in fierceness sore.
Awake, my soul, and with the sun.
Beloved disciple of thy Lord
Be not afraid, ye little flock
Blessed home of peace eternal
Blest are the pure in heart
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning!
By the Eyes so pale and dim.
City of peace, Jerusalem!
Come, Holy Ghost; Creator, come
Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
Come once more with songs descending
Day of Wrath! O day of mourning!
Erect your heads, eternal gates
Father of all! to Thee we raise
Fear not, O little flock and blest
For Thee, O God, our constant praise
Forth goes the standard of the King
From deeps so wild and drear
'Gainst what foemen art thou rushing
Glory to Thee, my God, this night.
God, our Hope and Strength abiding
Great Mover of all hearts, Whose Hand
Teach us the FATHER to confess,
And Son, from death reviv'd;
And, with Them both, Thee, HOLY GHOST,
Who art from both deriv'd.
With Thee, O FATHER, therefore may
The SON, from death restor❜d,
And Sacred Comforter, One GOD,
Devoutly be ador’d:
As in all ages heretofore
Has constantly been done,
As now it is, and shall be so
When time his course has run. Amen.
A FAIRER SUN is risen on earth

All ye who seek, in hope and love
And now, with shades of night opprest
Angels, from the realms of glory
As pants the hart for cooling streams
As the wolf in fierceness sore .
Awake, my soul, and with the sun.

Be not afraid, ye little flock
Blessed home of peace eternal
Blest are the pure in heart
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning!

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
Come once more with songs descending.
