HYMN XVI. For WHIT-SUNDAY.
I
Creator Spirit, by whose Aid
The World's Foundations first were laid,
Come, visit ev'ry pious Mind,
Come, pour thy Joys on Human Kind.
II
From Sin and Sorrow set us free,
And make thy Temples worthy thee:
Illumine our dull darken'd Sight,
Thou Source of uncreated Light.
III
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.
IV
Immortal Honours, endless Fame,
Attend th'Almighty Father's Name;
The Saviour Son be glorify'd,
Who for lost Man's Redemption dy'd.
V
And equal Adoration be,
Creator, Spirit, paid to thee:
“Come, visit ev'ry pious Mind;
“Come, pour thy Joys on Human Kind!
