Come Holy Spirit I need Thee
Come sweet Spirit I pray
Come in Thy strength and Thy power
Come in Thy own gentle way
Come like the spring in the desert
Come to the weary of souls
Lord Thy sweet healing power
Touch me and made me whole
Come Holy Spirit I need Thee
Come sweet Spirit I pray
Come in Thy strength and Thy power
Come in Thy own gentle way
Come in Thy own gentle way.
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
1 With all Thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2
O raise our thoughts from things below,
From vanities and toys!
Then shall we with fresh courage go
To reach eternal joys.
3
Awake our souls to joyful songs;
Let pure devotions rise;
Till praise employs our thankful tongues,
And doubt forever dies.
4
Father, we would no longer live
At this poor, dying rate;
To Thee our thankful love we give,
For Thine to us is great.
5
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Savior’s love,
And that shall kindle ours.
