Author: Rabanus Maurus, 776-856; Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #177 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And make our hearts your place of rest;
Come with your grace and heav'nly aid,
And fill the hearts which you have made.
2 To you, the Counselor, we cry,
To you, the gift of God most high;
The fount of life, the fire of love,
The soul's anointing from above.
3 Your light to ev'ry thought impart,
And shed your love in ev'ry heart;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate.
4 Drive far away our wily foe,
And your abiding peace bestow;
If you are our protecting guide,
No evil can with us abide.
5 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And you, from both, as Three in One
That we your name may ever bless
And in our lives the truth confess.
6 Praise we the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, with them One,
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow! Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost Languages: English Tune Title: KOMM, GOTT SCHÖPFER
