 Thou Who   art   called  the Paraclete, Best gift  of  God  above; The living  spring,  the  living fire,

Sweet unction  and  true love. Thou Who  art  sevenfold  in Thy  grace, Finger of  God's  right  hand; His promise,  teaching  little ones To speak  and  understand.

Oh! guide our  minds  with Thy blest  light. With love  our  hearts  in- flame ;

And with  Thy  strength,  which ne'er decays, Confirm our  mortal  frame. Far from  us  drive  our  hellish foe,

True peace  unto  us  bring; And through  all  perils  lead us safe Beneath Thy  sacred  wing.

Through Thee  may  we  the Father know, Through Thee,  th'  eternal Son,

And Thee,  the  Spirit  of  them both,— Thrice-blessed Three  in  one.

All glory  to  the  Father  be,

And to  His  risen  Son, The like  to  Thee,  great  Paraclete,

While endless  ages  run. Amen.
