188 Creator Spirit, by Whose Aid

1 Creator Spirit, by whose aid The world's foundations first were laid, Come, visit ev'ry humble mind; Come, pour your joys on humankind. From sin and sorrow set us free; May we your living temples be. 2 O Source of light, our Counselor, The Father's help to us assure, Come down, as promised, with your fire And hearts with heav'nly love inspire. Your sacred, healing message bring To sanctify us when we sing. 3 Giver of grace, descend from high In answer to our earnest cry. Help us eternal truths receive And practice all that we believe. Give us yourself that we may see The glory of the Trinity. 4 Immortal honor, endless fame, Attend th' almighty Father's name; The Savior Son be glorified, Who for all humankind has died; And equal adoration rise To you, O Spirit, in the skies.
