ENTHRONED on high, almighty Lord, The Holy Ghost send down: Fulfil in us Thy faithful word, And all Thy mercies crown.
Though on our heads no tongues of fire Their wondrous signs impart, Grant, Saviour, what we more desire, Thy Spirit in our heart.
Spirit of life, and light, and love, Thy heavenly influence give: Enliven souls—born from above— That we in Christ may live.
To our benighted minds reveal The Saviour’s glorious grace; And bring us where no clouds conceal The brightness of His face.
His love in us now shed abroad, An ever-springing well; Till God in us, and we in God, In love eternal dwell.
Thomas Haweis, 1732-1820
