Christopher Wordsworth (1862) • English

Come, ever blessed Spirit, come, and make thy servants' hearts thy home; may each a living temple be, hallowed for ever, Lord, to thee.

O Trinity in Unity, one only God and persons three, in whom, through whom, by whom we live, to Thee we praise and glory give:

So grant us to receive thy grace, that we may see thy glorious face, and ever with the heavenly host praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
