THE DAY OF PENTECOST WHITSUNDAY DWSM Propers & Readings p. 548 THE INTROIT HYMN COME, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, and lighten with celestial fire ; Thou the anointing Spirit art, Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart : Thy blessed unction from above Anoint and cheer our soiled face is comfort, life, and fire of love; with the abundance of thy grace: Enable with perpetual light Keep far our foes, give peace at home; the dullness of our blinded sight: where thou art guide no ill can come. Teach us to know the Father, Son, and thee, of Both, to be but One ; That through the ages all along This may be our endless song, Praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Sequence is sung after the second reading. OFFERTORY HYMN WE pray thee, heavenly Father, To hear us in thy love, And pour upon thy children The unction from above; That so in love abiding, From all defilement free, We may in pureness offer Our Eucharist to thee.
All that we have we offer, For it is all thine own, All gifts, by thine appointment, In bread and cup are shown; One thing alone we bring not, The wilfulness of sin, And all we bring is nothing Save that which is within.
