Holy Spirit
Translated by George Sigerson (1907) · From Bards of the Gael and Gall (1907)
Religion
Holy Spirit of Love
In us, round us, above;
Holy Spirit, we pray
Send, sweet Jesus! this day.
Holy Spirit, to win
Body and soul within,
To guide us that we be
From ills and illness free,
From sin and demons' snare,
From Hell and evils there,
O Holy Spirit, come!
Hallow our heart, Thy home.
