TALLIS. (Ordination Hymn.) C. M.

THOS. TALLIS. About 1565.

P

COME, Holy Ghost, eternal God,

Proceeding from above,

Both from the Father and the Son,
The God of peace and love;

Visit our minds, into our hearts

Thy heavenly grace inspire; That truth and godliness we may Pursue with full desire.

Thou in Thy gifts art manifold,

By them Christ's Church doth stand: In faithful hearts Thou writ'st Thy law,

The Finger of God's hand.

According to Thy promise, Lord,
Thou givest speech with grace;

IN token that thou shalt not fear
Christ crucified to own,

We print the cross upon thy brow,
And mark thee His alone.

In token that thou shalt not fear
Christ's conflict to maintain,
But 'neath His banner manfully
Firm at thy post remain;

In token that thou, too, shalt tread
The path He travell'd by;
Endure the cross, despise the shame,
And sit with Him on high;

Thus outwardly and visibly
We seal thee for His own;
And

may the brow that wears His cross
Hereafter share His crown.
