Ascension Hymns Lyrics
Hymn No.16
First Line: Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
Vouchsafe within our souls to rest;
Come with Thy grace and heav'nly aid,
And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
And fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
To Thee, the Comforter, we cry;
To Thee, the gift of God most high;
The fount of life, the fire of love,
The soul's Anointing from above.
The soul's Anointing from above.
The sev'nfold gifts of grace are Thine;
O finger of the hand divine;
True promise of the Father Thou,
Who dost the tongue with speech endow.
Who dost the tongue with speech endow.
Thy light to every sense impart,
And shed Thy love in every heart;
Thy own unfailing might supply
To strengthen our infirmity.
To strengthen our infirmity.
