Pentecost Prayer

[Rolypoly]

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,
And in our souls take up your rest;
Come with your grace and heavenly aid
To fill the hearts which you have made.

O Comforter, to you we cry,
O heavenly gift of God Most High,
O fount of life and fire of love,
And sweet anointing from above.

You in your sevenfold gifts are known;
You, finger of God’s hand we own;
You, promise of the Father, you
Who do the tongue with power imbue.

Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts overflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high
The weakness of our flesh supply.

Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us your peace instead;
So shall we not, with you for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside.

Oh, may your grace on us bestow
The Father and the Son to know;
And you, through endless times confessed,
Of both the eternal Spirit blest.

Now to the Father and the Son,
Who rose from death, be glory given,
With you, O holy Comforter,
Henceforth by all in earth and heaven.

Amen.

Wow I did not know this song had all those verses to it. Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favorite Holy Spirit songs.

Have a spirit-filled and peaceful Pentecost. God Bless.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Holy Spirit, come into our lives. In the name of Jesus Christ

Praying from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Prayers and Intercessions

To the Lord be glory and honour for ever. May he fill us with hope and with the power of the Holy Spirit:
– Lord, bring us help and salvation.

Almighty Father, you know how weak we are even when we pray:
give us your Spirit to speak on our behalf.
– Lord, bring us help and salvation.

Send your Spirit, the blessed light,
to shine in the innermost corners of our hearts.
– Lord, bring us help and salvation.

Lord, we are the work of your hands:
do not abandon us to the domination of our sins.
– Lord, bring us help and salvation.

Give us the gift of accepting the weak and the sick,
not hastily and impatiently but with love and reverence.
– Lord, bring us help and salvation.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Lord God,
you opened for us the way to eternal life
when Christ your Son was taken up to glory
and your Holy Spirit came to enlighten your Church.
Grant that, as we share in so great a gift,
our faith may grow ever stronger,
our service ever more loyal.

[We make our prayer] through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.

Amen!
