Creator Spirit, by Whose Aid
Author: Rabanus Maurus; Paraphraser: John Dryden
Creator Spirit, by whose aid
the world's foundations first were laid,
come, visit every waiting mind;
come, pour your joys on humankind.
From sin and sorrow set us free;
may we your living temples be.
O Source of light, our Counselor
the Father's help to us assure,
Come down, as promised, with your fire,
and hearts with heavenly love inspire.
Your sacred, healing message bring
to sanctify us when we sing.
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 your wisdom that we see
the glory of the Trinity.
