208 VENI CREATOR L. M. JOHN B. DYKES (d=76)Come, Ho-ly Ghost, our souls in - spire, And light-en with ce- les - tial fire: HO Thou, the a-noint-ing Spir - it art, Who dost Thy seven-fold gifts im-part. (d = 86) Spir - it di -vine, at - tend our pray'rs, And make this house Thy home; De-scend with all Thy gra-cious pow'rs, Oh, come,great Spir - it, come! 2 See, how we grovel here below, 3 In vain we tune our lifeless songs, Fond of these earthly toys; In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. With all Thy quickening powers; ISAAC WATTS |
