1 Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.
Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.
2 Revive our drooping faith,
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.
3 Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus' blood,
And to our wondering view reveal
The mercies of our God.
Then lead to Jesus' blood,
And to our wondering view reveal
The mercies of our God.
4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new-create the whole.
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new-create the whole.
