11747. Holy Spirit, Come In

1 My soul crieth out for the Spirit,
I’m hungering and thirsting to know
The fullness of blessing He giveth;
Now fill me while humbly I bow.

Refrain:
Come in, come in! Blessèd Spirit,
Thy work of great blessing begin;
By faith I lay hold of Thy promise,
And claim complete victory o’er sin.

2 O Spirit of God and of Jesus,
Blest Trinity, come and possess
My body, my soul, and my spirit,
And fill me with Thy holiness. [Refrain]

3 My body make meet for Thy temple,
My heart make Thou whiter than snow;
My spirit make loving and gentle,
Oh, fill me while humbly I bow. [Refrain]

4 O ye that are thirsting for fullness,
Make room by forsaking all sin;
Surrender to Him your whole nature,
By faith let the Spirit come in. [Refrain]
