MAELISU'S HYMN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
| O Holy Spirit,
hasten to us! Move round about us, in us, through us! All our deadened souls' desires Inflame anew with heavenly fires! Yea! let each heart become a hostel Of Thy bright Presence Pentecostal, Whose power from pestilence and slaughter Shall shield us still by land and water. From bosom sins, seducing devils, From Hell with all its hundred evils, For Jesus' only sake and merit, Preserve us, Thou Almighty Spirit! |
