Tune: | LANGRAN |
Composer: | James Langran, 1835-1909 |
1 O Holy Ghost, on this great day inspire
Our souls, we pray, with pentecostal fire;
Breathe Thou upon us with Thy heavenly wind,
That it refresh and purify our mind.
2 Kindle within us and preserve that fire,
Which will with holy love our breast inspire,
And with an active zeal our soul inflame
To do Thy will and glorify Thy name.
3 Endow us richly with Thy gifts and grace
To fit us for the duties of our place;
So open Thou our lips, our hearts so raise
That both our hearts and lips may give Thee praise.
