Come, O Creator Spirit, come - Lyrics

Come, O Creator Spirit, come,
and make within our
heart thy home;
to us thy grace celestial give,
who of thy breathing
move and live.

O Comforter, that
 name is Thine,
of God most high
 the gift divine:
the well of life, the fire of love,
our souls' anointing
from above.

 Thou dost appear in
seven-fold dower,
the sign of God's almighty power,
the Father's promise, making rich
with saving truth
our earthly speech.

Our senses with
thy light inflame;
our hearts to heavenly
 love reclaim;
our bodies' poor infirmity
with strength
perpetual fortify.

Our mortal foe afar repel;
grant us henceforth in peace to dwell;
and so to us, with
 thee for guide,
no ill shall come,
no harm betide.

May we by thee
the Father learn,
and know the Son,
 and thee discern,
who art of both,
 and thus adore
in perfect faith
forevermore. Amen.

Antiphon stanza:
Praise God the Father and the Son,
who from the dead arose in power;
like praise to the consoling one,
forevermore, through every hour.
