Hymn 267: Creator Spirit, by Whose aid

Emi Eleda, nipa Re

  1. Creator Spirit, by Whose aid
    The world’s foundations first were laid,
    Come, visit every pious mind;
    Come, pour Thy joys on human kind;
    From sin, and sorrow set us free;
    And make Thy temples worthy Thee.

  2. O Source of uncreated Light,
    The Father’s promised Paraclete!
    Thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire,
    Our hearts with heav’nly love inspire;
    Come, and Thy sacred unction bring
    To sanctify us, while we sing!

  3. Plenteous of grace, descend from high,
    Thou strength of His almighty hand,
    Whose pow’r does Heav’n and earth command:
    Proceeding Spirit, our Defense,
    Who dost the gift of tongues dispense,
    And crown’st Thy gift with eloquence!

  4. Immortal honor, endless fame,
    Attend th’almighty Father’s Name:
    The Savior Son be glorified,
    Who for lost man’s redemption died:
    And equal adoration be,
    Eternal Paraclete, to Thee. Amin.
