1 Creator Spirit, by whose aid
The world's foundations first were laid,
Come, visit every humble mind;
Come, pour thy joys on human-kind.

2 Thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire,
Our hearts with heavenly love inspire;
Come, and thy sacred unction bring
To sanctify us, while we sing.

3 O Source of uncreated light,
The Father's promised Paraclete,--
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And make us temples worthy thee!

4 Make us eternal truths receive,
And practice all that we believe;
Give us thyself, that we may see
The Father and the Son, by thee.
