O Holy Spirit, font of love, Thou source of life, and joy, and peace, With holy fire come from above, And bid our hearts their warmth increase. | O Thou who didst with love’s strong cord Unite the Father and the Son, May we who love a common Lord, In mutual love be bound in one. | Now to the Father throned on high, And unto Christ His only Son, And to the Spirit, glory be, Now, and while endless ages run. | |
