O come, thou Father of the poor, O come, thou source of all our store ; Come, fill our hearts with love.
O thou, of Comforters the best, O thou, the soul’s delightful guest, The pilgrim’s sweet relief ; Thou art our rest in toil and sweat, Refreshment in excessive heat, And solace in our grief.
O sacred Light ! shoot home thy darts, O pierce the centre of these hearts, Whose faith aspires to thee ; Without thy Godhead, nothing can Have any price or worth in man, Nothing can harmless be.
Lord ! wash our sinful stains away, Water from heaven our barren clay, Our wounds, our bruises heal ; To thy sweet yoke our stiff necks bow, Warm with thy fire our hearts of snow, Our wandering feet repeal. Ogrant thy faithful, dearest Lord, Whose only hope is thy sure word, The seven gifts of thy Spirit ; Grant us in life, to obey thy grace, Grant us in death, to see thy face, And endless joys inherit. Amen
