Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #104b (1908) Lyrics: 1 Creator, Spirit, Holy Dove,
Visit Thy people from above,
Fill them with graces, and restore
Thy creatures as they were before.
2 For Comforter is Thy sweet name,
A gift which from the Highest came,
A precious ointment from above,
A living fount, a fire of love.
3 Our minds enlighten, and inspire
Our souls with love's celestial fire;
And since thou know'st how frail we be,
Confirm and make us strong in Thee.
4 Thou, with Thy grace's sev'nfold band,
The finger art on God's right hand;
Thou dost the Father's promise send
With tongues to earth's remotest end.
5 Drive far away our wily foe,
And by Thy grace sweet peace bestow;
That in Thy footsteps we may run,
And soul-destroying mischief shun.
6 Let us by Thee the Father know,
His Son, Christ Jesus, also show,
That full of faith we may know Thee
Derived from both eternally.
7 To God the Father, and the Son
Who rose again, be honor done,
With Him, who came at Pentecost,
The Comforter, the Holy Ghost. Topics: Fourth Sunday after Easter; Whitsunday; The Church Year Pentecost Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET
