Lyrics

Come to me, O bless­èd Spi­rit,
Enter Thou my heart to­day;
I am long­ing to re­ceive Thee,
Come, and with me ev­er stay.

Refrain

I am wait­ing, I am will­ing,
Thine and on­ly Thine to be;
Make my heart Thy liv­ing tem­ple,
Come to­day and dwell in me.

Come to me in all Thy full­ness,
Take pos­sess­ion of my soul;
Take the will I scarce can yield Thee,
Sanctify and cleanse the whole.

Refrain

Loving Spi­rit, make me lov­ing,
Melt my heart, and cleanse from sin,
Satisfy my rest­less long­ings,
Make me fair and pure with­in.

Refrain

Holy Ghost, I now re­ceive Thee!
I accept Thy migh­ty pow­er;
And, by faith, I claim Thy pre­sence
In this so­lemn, sac­red hour.

Refrain

I be­lieve Thee! I be­lieve Thee!
And the bless­ing now I claim
Of Thy full­ness, gra­cious Spi­rit;
Glory to Thy holy name!
