Excerpt from The Whole Book of Psalms, Collected Into English Metre
The humble Suit of a sinner.
Veni Creator.
Come Holy Ghost, Eternal God,
proceeding from above,
Both from the Father and the Son,
the God of Peace and Love.
Visit our minds and into us
thy heavenly Grace inspire;
That in all truth and godliness,
we may have true desire;
Thou art the very comforter
in all woe and distress;
The heavenly Gift of God most high,
which no tongue can express,
The fountain and the lively spring
of joy celestial,
The fire so bright, the love so clear,
and function spiritual.
Thou in thy Gifts art manifold,
whereby Christ"s Church doth stand:
In faithful hearts writing thy Law,
the Finger of God"s hand.
According to thy promise of Grace;
That through thy help the praise of God
my stand in every place.
O Holy Ghost, into our Souls
send down thy heavenly light;
Kindle our Hearts with servent love
to serve god day and night.
Strengthen and establish our weakness,
so feeble and so frail;
That neither Devil, World, nor Flesh
against us may prevail.
Or Enemies out far from us,
and grant us to obtain
Peace in our hearts with God and Man,
without grudge ordisdain.
