- 1Come, Holy Spirit, come;
- Let Thy bright beams arise;
- Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
- The darkness from our eyes.
- 2Convince us all of sin,
- Then lead to Jesus’ blood,
- And to our wond’ring view reveal
- The mercies of our God.
- 3Revive our drooping faith,
- Our doubts and fears remove,
- And kindle in our breasts the flame
- Of never-dying love.
- 4’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,
- To sanctify the soul,
- To pour fresh life in ev'ry part
- And new-create the whole.
- 5Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
- Our minds from bondage free;
- Then we shall know and praise and love
- The Father, Son, and Thee.
- 6Amen.
