Tune: | ST. ANDREW |
Composer: | J. Barnby |
1 The cross is on our brow,
Redemption's awful sign:
Come Thou, O Holy Spirit, now,
To seal the work divine.
2 Thy sevenfold gifts impart,
O Comforter most sweet:
Inflame with zeal each lukewarm heart,
And guide the trembling feet.
3 With Pentecostal force
Thy presence let us feel:
With strength, Who art Thyself its source,
Inspire us as we kneel.
4 Confirm in us to-day
The work that Thou hast wrought:
Illume the souls with love's pure ray,
Which Jesus' blood hath bought.
5 No earth-forged arms we bear:
Strength, weapons, all are Thine:
Accept each vow and hear each prayer,
Blest Trinity Divine.
