Author: John Cosin Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 2 #170 (1899) Hymnal Title: Sacred Songs No. 2 First Line: Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire;
Thou the anointing Spirit art,
Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.
2 Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love;
Enable with perpetual light
The dullness of our blinded sight:
3 Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of Thy grace;
Keep far our foes, give peace at home;
Where Thou art Guide, no ill can come.
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And Thee, of both, to be but One;
That thro’ the ages all along
This, this may be our endless song. Topics: Holy Spirit Tune Title: HURSLEY
Come, Holy Ghost, our Souls Inspire
