8.8.8.8

I

O Holy Ghost, eternal Lord,

One with the Father and the Word;

Who art, and wast, and aye shalt be,

While ages pass, eternally.

II

Thou spring of Life, Thou source of Light,

Fountain of Goodness, God of Might;

By Thee the Love of God is known,

And Christ in all His fulness shown.

III

O Lord of grace, how good Thou art,

To soothe with balm the wounded heart;

To fire with zeal the fainting soul,

To teach, to comfort, and control.

IV

To Thee eternal praise be given,

Thou Light of earth, Thou Joy of heaven;

Who from the Immortal Father came,

In living tongues of fiery flame.

V

Eternal Spirit, One in Three --

Father and Son unite with Thee,

In one great, glorious Trinity,

Now, and for evermore to be. Amen.
