Verse 1
Come, Holy Ghost, whose breath inspires,
And sinners fills with pure desires,
And gospel-grace imparts,
Descend in blessings from above,
And shed abroad the Saviour’s love
In both our longing hearts.

Verse 2
Thou only canst in him and me
Reveal the depths of Deity;
The all-atoning blood
Thou only canst to both apply,
And with our spirits testify
That we are sons of God.

Verse 3
Thou dost Jehovah’s children lead
And teach us every truth we need
For our salvation know:
Thro’ Thee we Jesus call The Lord,
And to the Form Divine restor’d
In all his footsteps go.

Verse 4
Give us, of Thee reborn, to shine
With real holiness Divine,
In Thee to walk and live,
Thy fruits to bear, thy stamp to feel,
And peace, and joy unspeakable,
Thy kingdom to receive.

Verse 5
Then shall our vain contention cease
For different forms of godliness,
When Thou to us art given,
When one with Christ, and creatures new,
Our Father’s will on earth we do,
As Angels do in heaven.

Verse 6
Then all our blisful business here
Is but to wait till HE appear
And claim his ready Bride,
And add us to the Church above,
To all who in the Spirit of love
His followers liv’d, and died.
