Gabrieli - Come, Holy Ghost Lyrics

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
And lighten with celestial fire
Thou the anointing Spirit art
Who dost thy seven-fold gifts impart.

Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight.

Anoint and cheer our soilèd face
With the abundance of thy grace
Keep far our foes, give peace at home
Where thou art guide, no ill can come.

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.
