Come, Holy Ghost (Be Not Afraid) | Pentecost Hymn of the Week
Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And in our hearts take up Thy rest;
Come with thy grace and heav’nly aid
To fill our hearts which thou hast made,
To fill our hearts which Thou has made.
Verse 2
O Comforter, to thee we cry,
Thou heav’nly gift of God most high;
Thou fount of life, and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above,
And sweet anointing from above.
Refrain
Be not afraid, where you go there I am with you.
Be not afraid, where you go there I am with you.
Verse 4
Praise we the Lord, Father and Son,
And Holy Spirit with them one;
And may the Son on us bestow
All gifts that from the Spirit flow,
All gifts that from the Spirit flow.
