Full Text

1 Come, ever blessed Spirit, come, and make thy servants' hearts thy home; may each a living temple be, hallowed for ever, Lord, to thee. 2 Enrich that temple's holy shrine with sevenfold gifts of grace divine: with wisdom, light and knowledge bless, strength, counsel, fear, and godliness. 3 O Trinity in Unity, one only God and persons three, in whom, through whom, by whom we live, to Thee we praise and glory give: 4 So grant us to receive thy grace, that we may see thy glorious face, and ever with the heavenly host praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
