1. Come, Ho- ly Spi- rit, Lord our God, And pour Thy gifts of grace a- broad; Thy faith- ful peo- ple fill with bles- sing, Love's fire their hearts po- ssess- ing. O Lord, Thou by Thy heav'n- ly Light Dost ga- ther and in faith u- nite Through all the world a ho- ly na- tion To sing to Thee with ex- ul- ta- tion, Hal- le- lu- jah! Hal- le- lu- jah!
 
2. O, ho- liest Light! O Rock a- dored! Give us Thy light, Thy liv- ing Word, To God Him- self our spir- its lead- ing, With Him as chil- dren plea- ding. From er- ror, Lord, our souls de- fend, That they on Christ a- lone at- tend; In Him with faith un- feigned a- bid- ing, In Him with all their might con- fid- ing.
 
3. O ho- liest Fire! O Source of rest! Grant that with joy and hope poss- est, And in Thy ser- vice kept for- ev- er, Naught us from Thee may se- ver. Lord, may Thy pow'r pre- pare each heart; To our weak na- ture strength im- part, On- ward to press, our foes de- fy- ing, To Thee, through liv- ing and through dy- ing.
