Let every Christian pray, This day, and every day, Come, Holy Spirit, come! Was not the Church we love Commissioned from above? Come, Holy Spirit, come! The Spirit brought to birth The Church of Christ on earth To seek and save the lost: God never has withdrawn, Since that tremendous dawn, The gifts of Pentecost. Age after age, he strove To teach her how to love: Come, Holy Spirit, come! Age after age, anew, She proved the gospel true: Come, Holy Spirit, come! Only the Spirit's power Can fit us for this hour: Come, Holy Spirit Come! Instruct, inspire, unite; And make us see the light: Come Holy Spirit, come!
