Evangelical Lutheran hymnal ‎#109a

109a. Come, Holy Spirit, come

1 Come, Holy Spirit, come;
Let Thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.

2 Convince us all of sin,
Then lead to Jesus’ blood,
And to our wond’ring view reveal
The mercies of our God.

3 Revive our drooping faith,
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

4 ’Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in ev'ry part,
And new-create the whole.

5 Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;
Then we shall know and praise and love,
The Father, Son, and Thee.
