Spirit blest who art adored

With the Father and the Word,

One eternal God and Lord:

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,

Dew descending from above,

Breath of life, and fire of love:

pHear us, Holy Spirit.

Source of strength and knowledge clear,

Wisdom, godliness sincere,

Understanding, counsel, fear;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Source of meekness, love, and peace,

Patience, pureness, faith’s increase,

Hope and joy that cannot cease;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Spirit guiding us aright,

Spirit making darkness light,

Spirit of resistless might:

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Thou by whom the Virgin bore

Him, whom heaven and earth adore,

Sent our nature to restore;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Thou, whom Jesus from His throne

Gave to cheer and help His own,

That they might not be alone;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Thou whose grace the church doth fill,

Showing her God's perfect will,

Making Jesus present still;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Thou by whom our souls are fed

With the true and living bread,

Even Him who for us bled:

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

All Thy seven-fold gifts bestow,

Gifts of wisdom God to know,

Gifts of strength to meet the foe;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

All our evil passions kill,

Bend aright our stubborn will,

Though we grieve Thee, patient still;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Come to raise us when we fall,

And when snares our souls enthral,

Lead us back with gentle call;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Come, to strengthen all the weak,

Give Thy courage to the meek,

Teach our faltering tongues to speak;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Come to aid the souls who yearn

More of truth divine to learn,

And with deeper love to burn;

pHear us, Holy Spirit.

Keep us in the narrow way,

Warn us when we go astray,

Plead within us when we pray;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Holy, loving, as Thou art,

Come, and live within our heart;

Never more from us depart;

Hear us, Holy Spirit.
