Lyrics

I wor­ship Thee, O Ho­ly Ghost,
I love to wor­ship Thee;
My ris­en Lord for aye were lost
But for Thy com­pa­ny.

I wor­ship Thee, O Ho­ly Ghost,
I love to wors­hip Thee;
I grieved Thee long, alas! Thou know’st
It grieves me bit­ter­ly.

I wor­ship Thee, O Ho­ly Ghost,
I love to wor­ship Thee;
Thy pa­tient love, at what a cost
At last it con­quered me!

I wor­ship Thee, O Ho­ly Ghost,
I love to wor­ship Thee;
With Thee each day is Pen­te­cost,
Each night Na­ti­vi­ty.
