Text marked as lyrics
Creator Spirit, by whose aid the world's foundations first were laid, come, visit every pious mind; come, pour thy joys on humankind; from sin and sorrow set us free and make thy temples worthy thee. O source of uncreated light, the Father's promised Paraclete, thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire, our hearts with heavenly love inspire; come and thy sacred unction bring to sanctify us while we sing. Plenteous of grace, descend from high, rich in thy sevenfold energy; 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.
