- 1Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire;
- Let us thine influence prove;
- Source of the old prophetic fire,
- Fountain of life and love.
- 2Water with heavenly dew thy word,
- In this appointed hour;
- Attend it with thy presence, Lord,
- And bid it come with power.
- 3Open the hearts of them that hear,
- To make the Saviour room,
- Now let us find redemption near;
- Let faith by hearing come.
