Verse 1
Come, Holy Ghost, all-quick’ning fire, (John 6:63, Rom. 8:11, Acts 2:3-4)
Come, and in me delight to rest! (John 14:16-17, I Pet. 4:14)
Drawn by the lure of strong desire, (Song of Solomon 1:4, Jer. 31:3, John 6:44)
O come, and consecrate my breast:
The temple of my soul prepare, (I Cor. 6:19, I Cor. 3:16, Eph. 2:21-22)
And fix thy sacred presence there! (John 14:23)

Verse 2
If now thy influence I feel,
If now in thee begin to live; (Gal. 5:25)
Still to my heart thyself reveal, (John 16:13-14)
Give me thyself, for ever give.
A point my good, a drop my store:
Eager I ask, and pant for more. (Ps. 42:1)

Verse 3
Eager for thee I ask and pant, (Ps. 42:1)
So strong the principle divine
Carries me out with sweet constraint,
Till all my hallow’d soul be thine: (I Cor. 6:19-20)
Plung’d in the Godhead’s deepest sea,
And lost in thy immensity.

Verse 4
My peace, my life, my comfort now, (John 14:27, Col. 3:4)
My treasure, and my all thou art! (Col. 3:11, I Cor. 15:28)
True witness of my sonship thou, (Rom. 8:16, Gal. 4:6)
Engraving pardon on my heart: (Heb. 10:15-17, Jer. 31:33, II Cor. 3:3)
Seal of my sins in Christ forgiv’n, (Eph. 1:13-14, Eph. 4:30, II Cor. 1:22)
Earnest of love, and pledge of heav’n. (II Cor. 5:5)

Verse 5
Come then, my God, mark out thy heir, (Rom. 8:17, Gal. 4:7, Tit. 3:5-7)
Of heav’n a larger earnest give, (Eph. 1:13-14, II Cor. 1:22, II Cor. 5:5)
With clearer light thy witness bear; (Rom. 8:16)
More sensibly within me live: (John 14:17)
Let all my pow’rs thy entrance feel, (Rev. 3:20)
And deeper stamp thyself the seal. (Eph. 1:13)

The temple of my soul prepare, (I Cor. 6:19, I Cor. 3:16, Eph. 2:21-22)
And fix thy sacred presence there! (John 14:23)
