Spirit Blest, Who Art Adored

Spirit blest, who art adored With the Father and the Word, One eternal God and Lord: Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Thou by Whom the virgin bore Him Whom Heavn 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 Gods perfect will, Making Jesus present still: Hear us, Holy Spirit.

All Thy gracious 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 strengthen all the weak, Give Thy courage to the meek, Teach our faltring tongues to speak: Hear us, Holy Spirit.

Holy, loving, as Thou art, Come, and live within our heart; Nevermore from us depart: Hear us, Holy Spirit.
