- 1Come, Holy Spirit, come,
- With energy divine,
- And on this poor benighted soul,
- With beams of mercy shine.
- 2From the celestial hills,
- Light, life and joy dispense;
- And may I daily, hourly feel
- Thy quickening influence.
- 3O melt this frozen heart,
- This stubborn will subdue;
- Each evil passion overcome,
- And form me all anew.
- 4The profit will be mine,
- But thine shall be the praise;
- Cheerful to Thee will I devote
- The remnant of my days.
