Lyrics

Spirit ho­ly in me dwell­ing,
Ever work as Thou shalt choose;
All my ran­somed pow­ers and tal­ents
For Thy pur­pose Thou shalt use.

Refrain

Spirit ho­ly, Spi­rit ho­ly,
All my be­ing now pos­sess;
Lead me, rule me, work with­in me,
Thru my life Thy will ex­press.

Oh, how sweet is Thy abiding!
Oh, how ten­der is the love
Thou dost shed abroad with­in me
From the Fa­ther-heart above!

Refrain

Thou hast cleansed me for Thy tem­ple,
Garnished with Thy grac­es rare;
All my soul Thou art en­rich­ing,
By Thy full­ness dwell­ing there.

Refrain

In me now re­veal Thy glo­ry,
Let Thy might be ev­er shown;
Keep me from the world’s de­file­ment,
Sacred for Thy­self alone.
