Lyrics:
Come, Holy Ghost, draw near us. Most gentle, most benign; Console, exhort and cheer us, Thou Comforter divine: Come hallow thou our gladness, Come, ready help in sadness, True friend in time of need. Come, Paraclete, most holy, Turn sinner into Saint; Hope of the poor and lowly, Revive the sea, the faint: Come, Star, true course declaring To mariners seafaring; Safe port to shipmen wreck'd. Sole boast of all poor mortals That draw of life breath, Come, when we near the portals, The darksome gates of death; Come, Lord, alone supplying Salvation for the dying; Come, Holy Spirit, come!
