Hymn 223: Come To Me, O Blessed Spirit,

Verse 1

Come to me, O Blessed Spirit,

Enter Thou my heart to-day;

I am longing to receive Thee,

Come, and ever with me stay.


I am willing, I am willing,

Thine and only Thine to be:

Make my heart Thy living temple,

Come to-day, and dwell in me.

 

Verse 2

Come to me in all Thy fulness, 

Take possession of my soul:

Take the will I scarce can yield Thee,

Sanctify and cleanse the whole.


Verse 3

Loving Spirit, make me loving,

Melt my heart and cleanse from [sin,

Satisfy my restless longings,

Make me fair and pure within.


Verse 4

Holy Ghost, I now receive Thee!

I accept Thy mighty power:

And, by faith, I claim Thy presence

In this solemn, sacred hour;


I believe Thee! I believe Thee 

And the blessing now I claim

Of Thy fulness, gracious Spirit;

Glory to the Holy name!
