Lyrics
Pentecost Suite Alan Bessette © 2006 Running Streams Music (BMI). All Rights Reserved. Come thou, Holy Spirit, come. And from thy celestial home Shed a ray of light divine. Come thou, Father of the Poor, Come thou, source of all our store, Come within our bosoms shine. Thou of comforters the best, Thou the soul’s most welcome guest, Sweet refreshment here below. In our labor rest most sweet, Grateful coolness in the heat, Solace in the midst of woe. O most blessed Light divine, Shine within these hearts of thine, And our inmost being fill. Where thou art not man hath naught, Nothing good in deed or thought, Nothing free from taint of ill. Heal our wounds, our strength renew, On our dryness pour thy dew, Wash the stains of guilt away. Bend the stubborn heart and will. Melt the frozen, warm the chill, Guide the steps that go astray. On the faithful who adore, And confess thee evermore In thy sevenfold gift descend. Give them virtue’s sure reward, Give them thy salvation, Lord. Give them joys that never end. Come thou, Spouse of Mary, Come form Jesus within us, Come form Jesus within us. Come thou, Spouse of Holy Mary, Come form Jesus within us, Come form Jesus within us. Come thou, Spirit of the Almighty, Come bring your order to our lives. Bring your order to our lives. Come thou, Spirit of the Almighty, Come bring your order to our lives. Bring your order to our lives. Come thou, Holy Wind from Heaven, Come and hover over us. Come and hover over us. Come thou, Holy Wind from Heaven, Come and hover over us. Come and hover over us. Repeat verses 1 – 5 Amen. Amen. Alleluia. Come Holy Spirit. Come.
