With the Father and the Word,
One eternal God and Lord;
Hear us, Holy Ghost.

Wisdom, godliness Sincere,
Understanding, counsel, fear,

Thou who camest like a dove
from the open’d skies above,
With the Father's pow'r and love,
Hear us, Holy Ghost.

Thou whom Jesus, from his throne,
Gave to Cheer and help his own,
That they might not be alone,
Hear us, Holy Ghost.

Thou who yet the Church dost fill,
Making Jesus present still,
Showing us God's perfect will,
Hear us, Holy Ghost.

Come to help the hearts that yearn
More of truth divine to learn,
And with deeper love to burn,
Hear us, Holy Ghost.

Now thy sev'n-fold gifts bestow;
Gifts of grace are God to know;
Gifts of strength to quell our foe;
Hear us, Holy Ghost.
