The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#213

213. Holy Ghost, we bid thee welcome

1 Holy Ghost, we bid thee welcome,
Source of life and power thou art,
Promise of our heavenly Father,
Now thrice welcome in our heart.

2 Come like dew from Heaven falling,
Come like spring’s refreshing shower;
Holy Ghost, for thee we’re calling,
Come in all thy quickening power.

3 Hearts are open to receive thee
Though we’ve grieved thee o’er and o’er;
Holy Ghost, we greatly need thee,
Come, abide for evermore.
