Lyrics

Come then, and dwell in me,
Spirit of power within, (Acts 1:8, Rom. 8:11, I Cor. 3:16, II Tim. 1:7, John 14:17, Ezek. 36:27)
And bring the glorious liberty (II Cor. 3:17, Rom. 8:21)
From sorrow, fear, and sin: (Rom. 8:2)
The seed of sin’s disease, (Ps. 103:3, I John 3:9)
Spirit of health, remove,
Spirit of finish’d holiness, (I Thess. 5:23, Heb. 10:14)
Spirit of perfect love. (I John 4:18)
