Veni Creator

Come Holy-Ghost, the Maker, come;
Take in the soules of thine thy place;
Thou whom our hearts had being from,
Oh, fill them with thy heauenly grace.
Thou art that Comfort from aboue,
The Highest doth by gift impart;
Thou spring of Life, a fire of Loue,
And the annointing Spirit art:

Thou in thy Gifts art manifold,
GODS right-hand finger thou art, LORD:
The Fathers promise made of old;
Our tongues enriching by the Word.
Oh! giue our blinded Senses Light;
Shed Loue into each heart of our,
And grant the bodies feeble-plight,
May be enabled, by thy powre.

Farre from vs driue away the Foe,
And let a speedy Peace ensue:
Our Leader also be, that so
We eu'ry danger may eschew.
Let vs be taught the blessed Creed
Of Father, and of Sonne, by Thee:
And how from both thou dost proceed,
That our beleefe it still may be.

To Thee, the Father, and the Sonne;
(Whom past, and present Times adore)
The One in Three, and Three in One,
All glory be for euermore.
