This prayer appears in my book, The Roots of Irish Wisdom.

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!

—From The Celtic Psaltery by Alfred Perceval Graves, 1917
