Tune: Saffron Walden
(one tune to \'Just as I am\')
Based on a prayer by St Anselm, 11th Century
***********
O holy Paraclete*, sweetest (*the Holy Spirit)
Consoler of the sad, them bless
Gracious Spirit, come to us here
With your power appear
Your mighty power come unto
Depths of our hearts and us renew
And gladden us with your brightness
Each dark retreat, no less
And enrich with the dew of your
Abundant comfort to us sure
Kindle our inward parts with your
Holy favour e\'ermore
So incense of our prayers, praises
Ascend to you as each raises
Them to you, may we glorify
You God through Christ here nigh
