COME, Holy Spirit, come; Let Thy bright beams arise; Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. |
|||
2 | Cheer our desponding hearts, Thou heavenly Paraclete; Give us to lie with humble hope At our Redeemer’s feet. |
||
3 | Revive our drooping faith, Our doubts and fears remove; And kindle in our hearts the flame Of never-dying love. |
||
4 | Convince us of our sin; Then lead to Jesus’ blood; And to our wondering view reveal The secret love of God. |
||
5 | ’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart, To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life in every part, And new create the whole. |
||
6 | Dwell therefore in our hearts, Our minds from bondage free; Then shall we know and praise and love The Father, Son, and Thee. |
