HYMN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, by MAELISU First Line: O holy spirit, hasten to us! Last Line: Preserve us, thou almighty 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NORTH WIND TO DUTIFUL BEAST MIDWAY BETWEEN DIAL & FOOT OF GARDEN CLOCK by MARIANNE MOORE OLD SUSAN by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE A MORTIFYING MISTAKE by ANNA MARIA PRATT ANOTHER SPRING by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ANTIQUE JEWELER by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 10.
