Komm, Heilger Geist, o Schöpfer du,
sprich den bedrängten Seelen zu:
erfüll mit Gnaden, süßer Gast,
das Herz, das du geschaffen hast.

Zünd uns ein Licht an im Verstand,
entflamm das Herz in Liebesbrand,
stärk unser schwaches Fleisch und Blut
durch deiner Gottheit starken Mut.

Der du der Tröster bist genannt,
des allerhöchsten Gottes Pfand,
du Liebesglut, du Lebensbronn,
du Herzenslabung, Gnadensonn.

Du siebenfaches Gnadengut,
du Hand des Herrn, die Wunder tut;
du lösest aller Zungen Band,
gibst frei das Wort in alle Land.

Den Feind aus unsrer Mitte treib,
mit deinem Frieden bei uns bleib,
führ’ uns auf deiner lichten Bahn,
wo uns kein Unheil schaden kann.

Lehr uns den Vater kennen wohl
und wie den Sohn man ehren soll;
im Glauben mache uns bekannt,
wie du von beiden bist gesandt.

Ehr sei dem Vater, unserm Herrn,
und seinem Sohn, dem Lebensstern,
dem Heilgen Geiste gleicherweis,
sei jetzt und ewig Lob und Preis.

1. Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, God,
Your children long to hear Your voice;
in grace refresh, O Guest most dear,
the soul You have created here.

2. The light of understanding grant
ignite in me the fire of love
and strengthen my weak flesh and blood
with Your strong spirit, heav'nly food.

3. We call You Comforter, O Lord,
the promise of the most high God,
of life the Source, of love the Well,
the Salve for hearts that pain dispels.

4. O source of all the gifts of grace,
O hand of God that wonders makes,
You loose from all our tongues the bands
to preach the Word to ev’ry land.

5. Drive far from us the Enemy
and put us on the path of peace;
and on that path, by Your grace led,
may we remain untouched by dread.

6. Teach us to know the Father God
and show us how His Son to laud;
and in the Faith may it be known
how You to us from them have come

7. Praise to the Father now begun,
and praise the Star of Life, his Son,
and to the Holy Spirit be
all honor, praise eternally.
