COME HOLY GHOST OUR SOULS INSPIRE

​

Come, Holy Ghost,

our souls inspire,

And lighten with celestial fire.

Thou the anointing Spirit art,

Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart.

John Cosin (1594-1672)

COME HOLY GHOST OUR SOULS INSPIRE

​

Thy blessed unction from above

Is comfort, life, and fire of love.

Enable with perpetual light

The dullness of our blinded sight.

COME HOLY GHOST OUR SOULS INSPIRE

​

Anoint and cheer our soiled face

With the abundance of thy grace.

Keep far our foes,

give peace at home:

Where thou art guide,

no ill can come.

COME HOLY GHOST OUR SOULS INSPIRE

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:

Praise to thy eternal merit,

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Amen.

John Cosin (1594-1672)
