Come, Holy Spirit, Creator come,  From your bright heavenly throne! Come, take possession of our souls,  And make them all your own. You who are called the Paraclete, Best gift of God above,

The living spring, the living fire,  Sweet unction, and true love! You who are sevenfold in your grace,  Finger of God's right hand, His promise, teaching little ones To speak and

understand! O guide our minds with your blessed light,  With love our hearts inflame, And with your strength which never decays Confirm our mortal frame. Far from us drive our hellish foe 

True peace unto us bring, And through all perils guide us safe Beneath your sacred wing. Through you may we the Father know, Through you the eternal Son And you the Spirit of them both
