Holy Spirit, Fill Our Hearts

Words: Robert Loretz

This invocation of the Holy Spirit can be sung by full congregation /choir or as a call and response between cantor and congregation / choir. It is especially good for the Sacrament of Confirmation, was the words cover the meaning of all seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Consuming Fire of Charity ...Holy Spirit fill our hears
O come our Source of unity ... Holy Spirit fill our hearts
O gift sent by the Father ... (etc)
that we in Christ cry "Abba" ...

O Comforter and Advocate ...
O You who open heaven's gate .
..O give us understanding's light ...
and help us judge all things aright ...
\
O Guide of everything we do ...
Come order all our loves anew ...
O strengthen us in fortitude...
ill we see our beatitude...

Configure us to Christ the Son ...
Impart the graces He has won ...
Inspire in us a holy fear ...
and lead us to the depths of prayer ...

O make our adoration true ...
O touch us with Your heav'nly dew ...
O mark our foreheads with Your sign ...
to contemplate all things divine ...

Empow'r us for the Father's will ...
To rest in Him remaining still, ...
Impart to us Your heav'n kiss, ...
and lead us to eternal bliss ...
