225. Come, Holy Spirit

Refrain:
Come, Holy Spirit, make Your home in our hearts.
Come, Holy Spirit, Your grace and truth to impart.

1 To You, the Counselor, we cry,
To You, the gift of God Most High;
The fount of life, the fire of love,
The soul’s anointing from above. Refrain

2 Your light to ev’ry thought impart,
And shed Your love in ev’ry heart;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate. Refrain

3 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And You, from both, as Three in One
That we Your name may ever bless
And in our lives the truth confess. Refrain
