Come, thou Holy Spirit bright;
come with thy celestial light;
pour on us thy love divine.
Come, protector of the poor;
come, thou source
of blessings sure;
come within our hearts to shine.
Thou, of comforters the best,
thou, the soul's most
welcome guest,
of our peace thou art the sign.
In our labor, be our aid;
in our summer, cooling shade.
Every bitter hear refine.
Brighter than the noonday sun,
fill our lives which Christ has won;
fill our hearts and make them thine.
Where thou art not,
we have nought:
all our word and deed and thought
twisted from thy true design.
Bend the stubborn heart and will;
melt the frozen, warm the chill;
rule us by thy judgment's line.
Cleanse us with thy healing power;
what is barren bring to flower;
to thy love our sins consign.
To thy people who adore
and confess thee evermore,
thy blest sevenfold gift assign.
Grant us thy salvation, Lord,
boundless mercy our reward,
joys which earth
heaven entwine.
