Come, O Creator, Spirit blest, And in our souls take up Thy rest; Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid To fill the hearts which Thou hast made. Great Paraclete, to Thee we cry, O highest gift of God most high, O Fount of life, O Fire of love, And sweet anointing from above. Thou in thy sevenfold gifts art known; The finger of God’s hand we own; The promise of the Father Thou, Who dost the tongue with pow’r endow.
