Hymn 222: Holy Ghost, We Bid Thee Welcome.

Verse 1

Holy Ghost, we bid Thee welcome,

Source of life and pow’r Thou art;

Promise of our Heavenly Father 

Now Thrice welcome to my heart.

Welcome, welcome, welcome,

Holy Ghost, we welcome Thee;

Come in pow’r and fill the temple,

Holy Ghost, we welcome Thee.

Verse 2

Here like empty earthen vessels 

Living at the Master’s feet,

Small but clean thro’ Jesus’

merit,

Wait till Thou Thy work com [plete.

Verse 3

Come like dew from heaven falling,

Come like spring’s refreshing 

shower;

Holy Ghost, for Thee we’re calling,

Come in all Thy quick’ning power.

Verse 4

Hearts are open to receive Thee,

Tho’ we’ve grieved Thee o’er 

and o’er,

Holy Ghost, we greatly need Thee,

Come, abide for evermore.
