<p class="refrain">Holy Ghost, come down upon Thy children,<br>
|
|
Give us grace and make us Thine;<br>
|
|
Thy tender fires within us kindle,<br>
|
|
Blessèd Spirit, Dove divine.</p>
|
|
<p>For all within us good and holy<br>
|
|
Is from Thee, Thy precious gift;<br>
|
|
In all our joys, in all our sorrows,<br>
|
|
Wistful hearts to Thee we lift.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>For Thou to us art more than Father,<br>
|
|
More than sister, in Thy love,<br>
|
|
So gentle, patient, and forbearing,<br>
|
|
Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O we have grieved Thee, gracious Spirit!<br>
|
|
Wayward, wanton, cold are we;<br>
|
|
And still our sins, new every morning,<br>
|
|
Never yet have wearied Thee.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Ah! Sweet Consoler, though we cannot<br>
|
|
Love Thee as Thou lovest us,<br>
|
|
Yet if Thou deign’st our hearts to kindle<br>
|
|
They will not be always thus.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>With hearts so vile how dare we venture,<br>
|
|
King of kings, to love Thee so?<br>
|
|
And how canst Thou, with such compassion,<br>
|
|
Bear so long with things so low?</p>
